§ 14381 City Annexation Utility Exclusion

Key Takeaways

  • •If a city adds new land that already gets water or electricity from the city, the city can suggest removing that land from a special district.
  • •The city's leaders (like the city council) decide if they want to do this.
  • •This only happens if the city already provides water or electricity to the new land.

Example

A small town grows and adds nearby farmland to the town. The town already gives water to the farms.

The town can say, 'Since we already give you water, we don’t need the special water district to handle it anymore.'
