House Bill 3090 |
House Author: Creighton |
|
Effective: 9-1-11 |
Senate Sponsor: Nichols |
Previous law required a retail public utility providing potable water to perform and file with the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) every five years a water audit computing the utility's most recent annual system water loss. House Bill 3090 amends the Water Code to require a retail public utility providing potable water that receives financial assistance from the TWDB to perform and file with the TWDB an annual water audit computing the utility's system water loss during the preceding year, while retaining the previous audit requirement for a retail public utility providing potable water that does not receive financial assistance from the TWDB.
Current law requires the TWDB to develop appropriate methodologies and submission dates for a required water audit for categories of retail public utilities based on the size of the population served by the utility. The bill changes the two smallest categories to include different population ranges.
