Description
Sewage treatment facilities; governing board. Requires that certain entities that provide sewerage services to residents of the Commonwealth and to another state be managed by a governing board that is comprised of an equal number of residents of Virginia and of the other state. The requirement applies to such entities that operate a sewage treatment facility located in Virginia that has a capacity of at least five million gallons per day and was financed through the Virginia Revolving Loan Fund. The number of members of the governing board is determined based on the number of Virginia localities in which the entity provides sewerage services, with the governing body of each such locality appointing two members. If the members of the governing board deadlock on an issue pertaining to the management of the entity's business and affairs, one-half of the members of the board may petition the State Corporation Commission to arbitrate the issue over which the board is deadlocked. If the articles of incorporation, bylaws, charter, or other organic document of such an entity that was in existence prior to July 1, 2006, is not amended by January 1, 2008, to comply with the requirements regarding the governing board, then the locality wherein the sewage treatment facility is located is authorized to acquire the facility and related property, which acquisition may be by condemnation for the purpose of providing sewerage service to persons residing in the Commonwealth and the Bluestone Watershed.
