§ 18055 Lake Tahoe Sewer Systems

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that special facts exist with respect to public utility districts in the Lake Tahoe Basin which require the enactment of this chapter, applicable only to such districts. The special facts are as follows: (a) There is an urgent need for immediate action in providing an adequate system of sewer treatment and export facilities in order to prevent the pollution of the waters of Lake Tahoe. (b) There are areas in these districts which are and will continue to be required to install sewerage collection systems which cannot now be connected to the major sewerage works and system of the districts. (c) All areas of these districts are being required to connect to and use the works and system of the districts where they are available to them, but there is no economical means of providing the necessary intervening facilities which will be inviting to the owners of said areas to provide said facilities. (d) The procedure provided in this chapter will stimulate and engender said purpose and thus help to bring about an early solution to the Lake Tahoe water pollution problem. (Added by Stats. 1966, 1st Ex. Sess., Ch. 113.)
