IN RE: | HB4258 by Hilderbran (Relating to the regulation by groundwater conservation districts of the drilling of certain water wells.), As Introduced |
According to the Real Edwards Conservation and Reclamation District, the provisions of the bill would require the district to put meters on all new wells, including exempt wells, and then to monitor production of the wells. Costs associated with these actions for staff and operational costs are estimated at $15,500 in fiscal year 2010, and $25,000 in fiscal years 2011 through 2014.
The fiscal impact would vary by affected district.
