DESCRIPTION
This proposal would authorize joint municipal utility commissions to develop
and own sewer facilities. These commissions are currently authorized to own
water, gas and electric services. A joint municipal utility commission is
composed of two or more local governments that cooperate to provide services
within their geographic area.
This proposal would remove publicly owner water works from the jurisdiction
of the Public Service Commission, making the law regarding water distribution
the same as that for gas and electric distribution. A joint municipal
utility commission may not sell water within an area served by a privately
owned company unless the territory to be served is within the boundaries of
the participating governments and is approved by the Public Service
Commission.
The proposal would become effective only if voters approved a change in
Article VI of the Missouri Constitution authorizing joint municipal utility
commissions to own sewer facilities.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space. This proposal would not affect total state revenues.
