Changes amount of the fee a political subdivision may impose for water service line repair or replacement

HB 2732 allows local governments (cities, towns, villages, sewer districts, or water districts) to increase a monthly fee for water service line repairs or replacements on residential properties with four or fewer dwelling units. The bill raises the maximum fee from $1 to $2 per month (or $12 to $24 annually), but only after voter approval via a ballot measure. Funds collected must go into a special account dedicated solely to repairing or replacing water service lines (defined as pipes from the main to the home, excluding meters and utility-owned parts). The fee can be added to property tax bills, and all revenues must be kept separate from general funds for this specific purpose.
