This bill mandates that municipalities operating waterworks and sewage systems must provide services to county-owned properties located within their boundaries upon request from the county judge. Specifically, the bill introduces new sections to the Arkansas Code, requiring municipalities to connect county properties to their waterworks and sewage systems. The county is responsible for covering the costs associated with these connections and must pay for services at the same rates charged to other customers.
The new legal provisions added to Arkansas Code Title 14, Chapter 234 and Chapter 235 outline the obligations of municipalities regarding service provision to county properties. The bill emphasizes that the county will bear the financial responsibility for connection costs and service fees, ensuring that county properties receive essential water and sewage services in a timely manner.
