Sec. 7502.105. FAILURE TO REPAIR OR IMPROVE

(a) If the board finds that the failure or refusal of a landowner receiving water from the authority to make repairs or improvements to any of the landowner's water lines connected to the authority's water system adversely affects the system, the board may:

(1) discontinue service to the land; or

(2) give notice to the landowner that the board will make necessary repairs or improvements and demand payment from the landowner for the costs incurred unless the landowner makes the repairs or improvements not later than the 10th day after the date the landowner receives the notice.

(b) If the board discontinues service to the land, the authority shall immediately give notice to the landowner.

(c) The notice and the 10-day period for the landowner to make repairs or improvements under Subsection (a)(2) does not apply if there is an urgent necessity to make the repairs or improvements immediately to protect and conserve the authority's water supply.
