The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to county improvement districts. It introduces new provisions that allow a district formed in a subsequent active management area (AMA) to exercise the power of eminent domain specifically for acquiring a site for a single well and a standpipe to facilitate water delivery through hauling. This is a significant addition to the existing statutes, which currently do not provide such specific authority for water delivery systems in subsequent AMAs.

Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of "waterworks" to include standpipes and expands the scope of improvements that a district can undertake, specifically allowing for the construction and operation of domestic water delivery systems in subsequent AMAs. It also clarifies the process for property owners to contest inclusion in improvement districts and makes technical changes to existing language. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the ability of improvement districts to manage water resources effectively in areas where water hauling is necessary.
