SB 5069 - DIGEST

(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

Declares that, when a city assumes less than all of the territory of a water-sewer district under chapter 35.13A RCW, the city shall install and maintain, at its cost and expense, a water consumption meter on every line providing water between the district and the city. Each meter shall be located at the boundary between the city and district or as close thereto as physically possible, or as agreed to by the city and district.

Provides that, if a city desires to impose a utility business and occupation tax on water delivered to or sewer service provided in territory assumed under chapter 35.13A RCW, it shall pass an ordinance specifically imposing the tax on the delivery or service, even if it has passed a general ordinance imposing the tax.
