HB 18-1073

HB 18-1073 is a Colorado bill that allows water districts and related entities to make contracts for the sale or lease of water and water infrastructure capacity. This means they can now offer their water resources to other municipalities in a similar way to how these places contract for sewer facilities, expanding their ability to manage and distribute water for both municipal and industrial use. The bill has been signed into law, so it is now active and being implemented.

Official Summary

The bill authorizes water districts, including water activity enterprises, to enter into contracts for water and the capacity in works and allows the contracts to be based on municipalities' authority to contract for water and sewer facilities. It also specifies that water conservancy districts' contracts can be for municipal and industrial use by the recipient of the water. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
