to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by amending Section 5-31-1520, relating to Extension of water and sewer systems by a municipality, so as to prohibit extensions conditioned on annexation and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 5-31-1520 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

However, a city or town may not condition the extension of its system on annexation of the property owner's property, and may not prohibit a property owner from undertaking repairs to existing wells and septic systems if the property owner declines the extended system.
