The proposed bill seeks to amend section 49-1201 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the definition of "Wastewater treatment facility." Under current law, the definition includes a treatment works designed to hold, cleanse, or purify sewage or polluted waters for the purpose of complying with the Clean Water Act. The bill would modify this language by changing "for purposes of complying" to "to comply" with the Clean Water Act, streamlining the phrasing without altering the meaning.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding water conservation and supply development. It adds a definition for a multi-county water conservation district for replenishment purposes, and it clarifies that a county can be defined as a water provider for funding from the water supply development revolving fund if it enters into an intergovernmental agreement with a city, town, or other water provider regarding a water supply development project. This update aims to enhance clarity and facilitate collaboration among water providers in Arizona.
