Water boards gain oversight of transferred systems
Tennessee water and wastewater authority boards can take on some or all existing oversight powers, duties, and obligations for transferred municipal systems. These must come from local rules or policies in place immediately before the transfer. Boards can act during the transfer or later, subject to changes in the authority’s founding document, called its certificate of incorporation. Boards can later change adopted rules and requirements, but those changes must be just and reasonable. The law took effect upon becoming law and provides no direct household payment.
