Revise laws related to a proposed subdivision's connection to a public water supply or wastewater system
HB 629 revises laws regarding connections between proposed subdivisions and public water or wastewater systems. It mandates that county and municipal water or sewer systems must accept a proposed subdivision's request for connection under specific circumstances. These conditions include the subdivision's boundary being within 501 to 1,000 feet of the public system, and the system certifying it has adequate capacity and meets all regulatory requirements. The bill also directs the Department of Environmental Quality to amend its administrative rules to align with these new provisions.
