A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT authorizing the north Brunswick Sanitary district to require mandatory connections to its water and sewer systems.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  Not withstanding the provisions of G.S. 130A‑55(16)a., the North Brunswick Sanitary District may require the owner of developed property on which there are situated one or more residential dwelling units or commercial establishments located so as to be served by a water line or sewer collection line owned, leased as lessee or operated by the North Brunswick Sanitary District or on behalf of the North Brunswick Sanitary District, to connect the owner's premises with the water or sewer line and may fix charges for these connections.  In the case of improved property that would qualify for the issuance of a building permit for the construction of one or more residential dwelling units or commercial establishments, and where the North Brunswick Sanitary District has installed water or sewer lines or a combination thereof directly available to the property, the North Brunswick Sanitary District may require payment of a periodic availability charge, not to exceed the minimum periodic service charge for properties that are connected.
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
