Summary

Hampton Roads Sanitation District. Redefines the term “sewage disposal system.” The bill also provides that all construction contracts, except in cases of emergency, that the District’s Commission may let for construction, or materials in connection with such construction, shall be let after public advertising and in accordance with the provisions of the Virginia Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002, as well as all subsequent amendments and additions to Virginia public procurement law. The bill also requires that the Virginia Department of Environment Quality approve any substantial change in the method used by the Commission for treating and disposing of sewage and industrial wastes so as to prevent the pollution of any waters within the District as effective and satisfactory for the purpose intended. Further, the District may enter into any contract that the Commission determines to be necessary or appropriate to place any obligation or investment of the District, as represented by bonds or the investment of their proceeds, in whole or in part, on the interest rate, cash flow or other basis desired by the Commission.
