However, in some circumstances municipal wastewater agencies may need explicit legislative authority before they can pursue certain types of projects.(d) In order to promote regional interagency cooperation, improve the quality of the waters of the state, and make efficient use of publicly owned infrastructure, it would be beneficial if municipal wastewater agencies had the authority to enter into voluntary agreements for stormwater projects in the future, where cost effective and regionally suitable.(Added by Stats. 2021, Ch. 241, Sec. 1.
