SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Adequacy of local sewage systems and public water supplies. Directs the State Department of Health to undertake a comprehensive assessment process to determine the adequacy of local sewage systems and public water supplies provided to its citizens by each locality in the Commonwealth. If the Department determines that a locality's sewage systems or public water supplies are not adequate to serve its current population, or will be inadequate within the next five years, and the locality fails to develop a program to cure this situation, then Department shall establish and apply a local sewage system and public water supply residential development impact fee in such locality. The fee, collected from builders of new residential units, shall be based upon the Department's determination of the following (i) the pro-rata impact of each additional residential unit on existing sewage systems and public water supplies, and (ii) the pro-rata impact of each additional residential unit on the costs of improving or developing new sewage systems and public water supplies in order to adequately meet the needs of such new residential development. The Department shall make disbursements to the locality for the acquisition, improvement or development of new or existing sewage systems and public water supplies, until such time as the Department determines that the local sewage systems and public water supplies are adequate.
