SALE CONTRACT: PROVISIONS, LIMITATIONS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The board may determine the consideration and other provisions to be included in water sale contracts, but the consideration and other provisions shall be fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory. The board may include charges for standby service, which means holding water and conservation storage space for use and for actual delivery of water.
(b) The board shall make the same determinations with respect to the sale of water as are required in Section 16.190 of this code with respect to the sale or lease of facilities.
(c) The board shall not compete with any political subdivision in the sale of water when this competition jeopardizes the ability of the political subdivision to meet obligations incurred to finance its own water supply projects.
