House committee substitute makes the following changes to 2nd edition.
Deletes all the provisions in the previous edition and replaces them with AN ACT TO PROVIDE WATER AND SEWER SERVICE IN A DESIGNATED URBAN GROWTH AREA AND TO DELAY THE IMPLEMENTATION DEADLINE FOR LOCAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS UNDER THE JORDAN LAKE NEW DEVELOPMENT RULE.
Enacts new GS 160A-329, prohibiting a city from denying water and sewer service to a property owner in an urban growth area for reasons not applied to property owners within the city’s corporate limits. Permits the city to charge the property owner up to twice the rate for services and the cost of necessary infrastructure improvements.
Sets out directives regarding a specified rule for Jordan Lake new development, including delaying the implementation of a local stormwater management program until the later of August 10, 2013, within three months of the date when the Rules Review Commission approves a local program, or when the Division of Water Quality first renews a NPDES stormwater permit.
