The bill amends existing laws regarding municipal water providers, specifically focusing on the provision of water services from one municipality to another. It introduces a new section, 14-234-123, which grants municipal water providers the authority to shut off the water supply to another municipality in cases of nonpayment for water services. This change aims to ensure that municipalities fulfill their financial obligations for water services provided by other municipalities.
By authorizing the shut-off of water supply for nonpayment, the bill seeks to enhance accountability among municipalities regarding their water service payments. This legislative change is intended to protect the financial interests of municipal water providers and ensure the sustainability of water supply services across municipalities.
