	Subchapter Z, Chapter 402, Local Government Code, is amended 
by adding Section 402.911 to read as follows:
	Sec. 402.911. DUTIES OF WATER SERVICE PROVIDER TO AN AREA 
SERVED BY SEWER SERVICE OF CERTAIN POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS. (a) This 
section applies only to an area:
		(1) that is located in a county that has a population of 
more than 1.3 million; and
		(2) in which a customer's sewer service is provided by a 
municipality or conservation and reclamation district that also 
provides water service to other customers and the same customer's 
water service is provided by another entity.
	(b) For each person the water service provider serves in an 
area to which this section applies, the water service provider 
shall provide the municipality or district with any relevant 
customer information so that the municipality or district may bill 
users of the sewer service directly and verify the water 
consumption of users. Relevant customer information provided under 
this section includes the name, address, and telephone number of 
the customer of the water service provider, the monthly meter 
readings of the customer, monthly consumption information, 
including any billing adjustments, and certain meter information, 
such as brand, model, age, and location.
	(c) The municipality or district shall reimburse the water 
service provider for its reasonable and actual incremental costs 
for providing services to the municipality or district under this 
section. Incremental costs are limited to only those costs that are 
in addition to the water service provider's costs in providing its 
services to its customers, and those costs must be consistent with 
the costs incurred by other water utility providers. Only if 
requested by the wastewater provider, the water service provider 
must provide the municipality or district with documentation 
certified by a certified public accountant of the reasonable and 
actual incremental costs for providing services to the municipality 
or district under this section.
	(d) A municipality or conservation and reclamation district 
may provide written notice to a person to whom the municipality's or 
district's sewer service system provides service if the person has 
failed to pay for the service for more than 90 days. The notice must 
state the past due amount owed and the deadline by which the past 
due amount must be paid or the person will lose water service. The 
notice may be sent by mail or hand-delivered to the location at 
which the sewer service is provided.
	(e) The municipality or district may notify the water service 
provider of a person who fails to make timely payment after the 
person who fails to make timely payment after the person receives 
notice under Subsection (b). The notice must indicate the number of 
days the person has failed to pay for sewer service and the total 
amount past due. On the receipt of the notice, the water service 
provider shall discontinue water service to the person.
	(f) This section does not apply to a nonprofit water supply or 
sewer service corporation created under Chapter 67, Water Code, or 
a district created under Chapter 65, Water code.
