Indiana HB1297 regulates water utility service for water intensive facilities consuming at least 500,000 gallons of water per day.

Indiana HB1297 adds provisions to the Indiana Code concerning water utility service for water intensive facilities. A water intensive facility is defined as one consuming an average of at least 500,000 gallons of water per day. The bill mandates that the Indiana Economic Development Corporation cannot approve a bid for an economic development project including such a facility unless the Indiana Finance Authority determines the water utility can meet the facility's water demand and that the facility will pay for incremental water costs.
