§ 11531 Municipal Utility District Creation

This law says a municipal utility district can be set up, and once it exists it can use the powers the law gives it.

Key Takeaways

  • •The law permits the creation of a municipal utility district.
  • •The district must be created following the rules in the same division of law.
  • •Once created, the district can use the powers that the law gives it (like providing water, electricity, etc.).

Example

A small town decides to create a water district to manage the town's drinking water and sewage.

Because the law allows a municipal utility district to be created, the town can form the water district and then run water services, collect fees, and maintain pipes under the powers the law grants.
