Municipal wastewater agencies in California can enter into new agreements or amend existing ones without local agency formation commission approval.

The bill amends Section 13912 of the Water Code to allow municipal wastewater agencies to enter into new agreements or amend existing agreements without needing approval from the local agency formation commission. These agencies can authorize the discharge of stormwater or dry weather runoff from industrial and commercial sites to the wastewater system, subject to any requirements imposed by the agency or the public agency owning the collection system. The agencies can also enforce compliance with water quality requirements and levy taxes, fees, and charges to fund projects.
