Relating to county or city sewer projects for privately owned sewers that are newly installed

HB 2181 prohibits counties and municipalities from charging fees, requiring connection to, or imposing improvement costs on private landowners who already have privately installed sanitary sewer systems. It directly affects landowners who installed their own sewers before the county built a public system, excluding them from being classified as "users" under sewer fee rules. The bill amends West Virginia law by redefining "user" to clarify these landowners cannot be charged for county sewer systems or required to connect. This policy change prevents municipalities from imposing public sewer costs on private system owners who predated municipal infrastructure.
