   Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

   "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 90.44 RCW to read as follows:

   The use of public ground water for single or group domestic use under the exemption from water right permit requirements provided by RCW 90.44.050 should be clarified with regard to the number of residences that may be provided water in a single development under the exemption."

Correct the title.

EFFECT: States that the use of "exempt wells" for single or group domestic use should be clarified (rather than stating that an "exempt well" may be used to provide domestic water to homesites regardless of whether the homesites are part of larger projects or the means of withdrawal are shared).
