LC 2403 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise requirements to connect to municipal water/sewer system

This bill prohibits Montana municipalities from requiring landowners outside city limits to change zoning (e.g., from single-family to multifamily) before connecting to municipal water or sewer systems. It directly affects property owners seeking to connect to city utilities beyond corporate boundaries. The key provision amends Montana Code Annotated 7-13-4312 to explicitly ban such zoning requirements as a condition for service. The bill also appropriates $1,000 for the Department of Environmental Quality to update related documents and takes effect July 1, 2025.
