The Water Code requires a prospective seller or conveyer of real property, if the property is located in the certificated service area of a retail water or sewer service utility, to give the purchaser notice of potential associated costs and other water and sewer service considerations. The provision is inapplicable to retail utilities that are water districts, which are subject to separate statutory notice requirements, and previous law also provided that it was inapplicable to a transfer of title to a property located within the corporate limits of a municipality. House Bill 4043 amends the Water Code to make the provision inapplicable to such a transfer of title only if the municipality is served by a municipally owned utility.
