To prohibit the use of Federal funds for any program that restricts the

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 8, 2000
Mr. POMBO introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on Transportation and Infrastructure

To prohibit the use of Federal funds for any program that
restricts the use of any privately owned water source.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Some State and local governments restrict
the use of privately owned water sources and impose
fees on the owners of such sources for connection to
or use of a public water supply.
(2) Although State and local governments gen-
erally cite health and safety concerns in support of
such restrictions, the actual governmental concern is
often obtaining additional funds for the public water
supply.
(3) By failing to respect the preferences of pri-
vate water source owners for using their own water
sources, State and local governments adversely af-
fect competition in the marketplace and contribute
to higher costs for property owners, rural businesses,
and farms.
(4) By funding State or local water resource
programs, the Federal Government may impose un-
necessary burdens on property owners, rural busi-
nesses, and farms.
SEC. 2. RESTRICTION ON USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS.
Federal funds may not be used for any governmental
program that restricts the use of any privately owned
water source, unless such source is specifically found by
the head of the governmental entity that imposes the re-
striction to pose a risk to human health.
