Senate Bill 1848 creates the Starr County Groundwater Conservation District, coextensive with the boundaries of that county, subject to approval at a confirmation election. The bill authorizes the district to contract with a municipality to assume the functions of a municipally owned utility. Subject to certain conditions, including approval by district voters, the bill also authorizes a merger agreement with a water supply or sewer service corporation. The bill clarifies, for situations in which a district rule conflicts with a rule or an action of a municipally owned utility or water supply or sewer service corporation, which rule or action legally prevails.
