2008 SESSION
088922250Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §§ 15.2-2128 and 15.2-2151 of the Code of Virginia are amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 15.2-2128. Denial of application for sewage system by governing body of county or town which has adopted master plan for sewerage.
Notwithstanding any other provision of general law relating to the approval of sewage systems, the governing body of any county or town which has adopted a master plan for a sewage system is authorized to deny an application for a sewage system if such denial appears to it to be in the best interest of the inhabitants of the county or town or if such proposed sewage system does not conform to the comprehensive plan for the county or town.
§ 15.2-2151. Disapproval of system by governing body of counties; failure to disapprove within seventy days.
The governing body of any county notified of the proposed establishment of a water system or of the extension of any existing water system under the second paragraph of § 15.2-2149 may disapprove the same, if it finds that such water system does not have an adequate source of supply, or that the system is not capable of serving the proposed number of connections by reason of inadequate pipes, mains, conduits, pumping stations, or that the system does not conform to the county’s comprehensive plan, or that the system is not in the best interests of the inhabitants of the county, or otherwise. If, at the expiration of seventy days from the date on which the applicant appeared before the governing body, such governing body has not disapproved the application, the applicant may proceed with the construction and installation of such water system, provided he first gives notice to the chairman of the governing body by registered mail of his intention to proceed.
