House Bill 3990 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Burnet County Water Control and Improvement District No. 1, subject to voter approval at a confirmation election. The bill grants the district the general-law powers and duties of a municipal utility district as well as those of a water control and improvement district and of water districts generally. It authorizes the district to enter into a contract to allow a political subdivision to provide retail water or sewer service in the district. The bill grants the district the power to undertake certain road projects, but bonds for road projects require approval by a two-thirds majority of those voting in a district election, and the bonds or other obligations for such projects may not exceed one-fourth of the assessed value of the real property in the district.
