SUMMARY
Synopsis
of HJC Amendment
The House Judiciary Committee amendment strikes
the Energy and Natural Resources Committee amendment 2. In its place, it inserts language requiring
all costs associated with metering of domestic wells to be the responsibility
of the person contracting for the drilling of the well. The owner of the domestic well permit must
submit readings on a biannual basis, metering requirements shall be part of the
final conditions of approval of subdivision by the county or municipality and,
if there is overuse, a fine may be imposed.
In addition, it deletes prohibitions on
high-water use plants and adds the requirement for “low-water use landscaping
and efficient irrigation systems based on xeriscape principles and regulation
of high-water use landscaping.”
