A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS TO WATER SUPPLY LINES FUNDED BY THE CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL GAS CRITICAL NEEDS BOND ACT OF 1998.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  Notwithstanding Section 1.5(b) of Session Law 1998‑132, the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources shall grant a waiver to allow additional connections to a bond‑funded water line within an area designated as WS‑I or the critical area of any area that has been designated as WS‑II, WS‑III, or WS‑IV by the Environmental Management Commission pursuant to G.S. 143‑214.5, provided the design capacity and size of the existing bond‑funded line can accommodate the additional connections and the purpose of the additional connection is for either of the following reasons:

(1)        To address an existing threat to public health or water quality.

(2)        To provide water to a habitable structure located on a lot zoned for a single family residence, provided that the lot was platted at the time of the construction of the bond‑funded water line. There is no requirement that the habitable structure existed on the lot at the time of the construction of the bond‑funded water line.

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
