(a) A district or water supply corporation (WSC) that operates or proposes to operate a wastewater collection system may prohibit by rule the installation of private on-site wastewater holding or treatment facilities on land within the district or the corporation's service area that is not served by the district's or corporation's wastewater collection system. A district or WSC that has not received funding under Texas Water Code, Chapter 17, Subchapter K, may not require a property owner who has installed an on-site wastewater holding or treatment facility before the adoption of the rule to connect to the district's or corporation's wastewater collection system.
(b) A district or WSC that prohibits the installation of private on-site wastewater facilities shall agree to reimburse the owner of a residence the costs (engineering and construction) of connecting the residence to the district's or corporation's wastewater collection system if the distance along a public right-of-way or utility easement from the nearest point of the district's or corporation's wastewater collection system to the boundary line of the tract requiring wastewater collection services is 300 feet or more.
(c) This section is applicable whether a district intends on operating facilities itself or intends on conveying the facilities to a third party.
