AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 745 OF 1967, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO RENEWABLE WATER RESOURCES (REWA), FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE WESTERN CAROLINA REGIONAL SEWER AUTHORITY, SO AS TO ADD THE "NORTHERN GREENVILLE" AREA OF GREENVILLE COUNTY TO REWA'S SERVICE TERRITORY, TO EXPRESS THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S INTENT TO DESIGNATE A MAP AS THE DOCUMENT OF RECORD ON WHICH REWA'S AMENDED BOUNDARY LINES ARE DELINEATED, AND TO PROVIDE THAT NO RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL ENTITY LOCATED WITHIN THE "NORTHERN GREENVILLE" EXTENDED TERRITORY IS REQUIRED TO TAP INTO THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY REWA UNLESS THE ENTITY DOES SO VOLUNTARILY OR HAS NO OTHER DHEC-APPROVED METHOD FOR DISPOSAL.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Renewable Water Resources expanded service territory

SECTION    1.    Act 745 of 1967, as last amended by Act 195 of 1999, is further amended by adding:

"Section 2.7.    Notwithstanding another provision of law, the boundary lines that define the service territory of the Renewable Water Resources are hereby expanded so as to include an area labeled the 'Northern Greenville' area of Greenville County, which is shown on a map filed with the Renewable Water Resources Commission as provided and maintained by the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office and designated as document 'ReWa Service Area - 2016A'. The General Assembly intends for this document to serve as the document of record delineating the service territory of the Renewable Water Resources. No residential or commercial entity in the 'Northern Greenville' extended territory is required to tap into the services provided by the Renewable Water Resources unless the residential or commercial entity voluntarily seeks such access or has no other DHEC-approved method for disposal."

Time effective

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

Ratified the 2nd day of June, 2016.
