This bill, titled the “Water Infrastructure Protection Act,” would authorize municipalities and municipal, county, and regional utilities authorities to lease or sell their water or wastewater assets to a private entity, without any referendum, if an emergent condition exists.  The bill would provide these public entities with greater flexibility to address an emergent condition impacting its water or wastewater services if such condition may be better addressed by private operation of some or all of the public owner’s water or wastewater assets.
