BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |

|
|
(1) operates in conjunction with the pumping and |
|
|
hauling of wastewater produced by the system; and |
|
|
(2) serves a property that: |
|
|
(A) has been subdivided for residential use; and |
|
|

|
|
on-site disposal of all wastewater in compliance with this chapter. |
