§64l9. 
Installation of sand filtration system 
A water district that serves more than 45,000 
customers 
shall install a sand filtration system to ensure the safety of 
the water supply. 
A water district subject to this section may 
not raise consumer water rates in order to fund the purchase or 
installation of the sand filtration system. 
In order to fund the 
purchase or installation of the sand filtration system, a water 
district subject to this section must sell any land that it owns 
that is not essential to its provision of water district services. 
Sec. 2. Public Utilities Commission review. 
The Public Utili ties 
Commission shall examine the particular issues presented by water 
districts that serve more than 45,000 customers, including, but 
not limited to, issues associated with water safety, water supply 
and 
competing 
responsibilities 
regarding 
the 
collection, 
distribution, treatment and disposal of water. 
In conducting its 
review, the commission shall consider whether it is in the best 
interest of the customers of those water districts and the people 
of 
the 
State 
to 
require 
the 
reorganization 
of 
such 
water 
districts into separate entities with management and oversight

The Public Utili ties Committee shall 
report its findings to the Joint Standing Committee on Utilities 
by January 10, 2006. 
SUMMARY 
This bill requires water districts that serve more

customers 
to 
install 
a 
sand 
filtration 
system 
and 
prohibits such water districts from raising rates to consumers in 
order to pay for the filtration system. 
This bill prohibits a 
water district from raising its rates to fund the sand filtration 
system, and instead requires that such a water district sell land 
that 
is 
not 
essential 
to 
its 
provision 
of 
water 
district 
services. 
This bill also directs the Public Utilities Commission 
to review whether such water districts should be organized as 
separate entities performing separate functions 
such as water 
distribution and water treatment.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1. 36 MRSA §574-A. as amended by PL 1989, c. 508, §9, is 
repealed and the following enacted in its place: 
§574-A. 
Ineligibility 
1. 
Recreational lease. 
The Legislature finds that when the 
val~e of a recreational use lease exceeds the value of the tree 
growth that can be extracted on a sustained basis per acre as 
determined pursuant to section 576, then the land is no longer 
primarily used for the continuous growth of forest products. This 
finding is sufficient cause to remove from taxation under this 
subchapter those parcels that are more valuable in terms of 
recreation and are being leased on that basis. Notwithstanding 
section 573, this subchapter does not apply to any parcel of 
forest land that is leased for consideration to any individual or 
gI"oup of individuals to use for recreational purposes if that 
parcel of land exceeds 100 acres and if the consideration for 
that lease per acre exceeds the value of the growth that can be 
extracted on a sustained basis per acre as determined pursuant to 
section 576. 
The owner of the leased parcels shall submit a copy 
of the lease or leases on land subject to the provisions of this 
subsection to the State Tax Assessor for land in the unorganized 
territory 
and 
the 
municipal 
assessors 
in 
organized 
municipalities. The State Tax Assessor or the municipal assessor 
shall determine if the value of the lease exceeds the sustained 
growth value. 
If the value of the lease is determined to exceed 
the sustained growth value, the owner of the forest land has 50 
days from the date of notification to either terminate the lease, 
amend the lease to comply with this section or withdraw the land 
covered by the lease from the tree growth taxation under this 
subchapter. In the case of withdrawal, such action is subject to 
section 581 of this subchapter. 
2. 
Recreational. 
a~e1>S l.imite!i. 
A parcel consisting of 
more than 10, 000 acres to which public access for recreational 
use is limited or prohibited by the owner of that parcel is 
ineligible for taxation under this subchapter. 
SUMMARY 
This bill exempts 
from 
the 
Maine 
Tree 
Growth 
Tax 
Law 
benefits a parcel of land greater than 10,000 acres to which 
public access for recreational use is restricted or prohibited.
