Water, subdivisions
WATER – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the delivery of water within subdivisions and certain civil actions and to provide for consideration of ground water when amending, repealing, or adopting a comprehensive plan.

RS31372 / S1370

This legislation addresses the use of exempt domestic wells in subdivisions. In particular, the legislation: 1) requires the use of shared or public water systems in subdivisions with 10 or more lots (where each lot is 5 acres or smaller; 2) requires that surface water being used for irrigation on land must continue to be used for irrigation when that land is developed, and 3) authorizes a county to consider water supply conditions in the comprehensive planning process.

This legislation will have no impact on the state's general fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund, because it does not affect the operations or activities of any state agency.
