Re: Whether a developer of
property within a water
control and improvement dis-
trict may serve as director
of that districtDear Mr. Nemir:
You have asked our opinion as to whether two developers of
property within the territorial boundaries of Brushy Creek Water
Control and Improvement District No. I [hereinafter "District"] are
disqualified by the Texas Water Code from serving on the board of
directors of the D strict. Your letter states:
Either section 50.026 or section 51.0721 of the
Texas Wnter Code, or possibly both of these
sections, is applicable to Brushy Creek Water
Control and Improvement District Ho. 1, depending
on whether it is a special law district or a
general Law district. Both sections provide that
a develcper of property in a district is dis-
qualified from serving as a member of the
governing board thereof if the District is
proposing to provide or actually providing water
and sewer services or either of these services to
household users as the principal functions of the
District.
The District has never provided sever services
to household users as a principal function of the
District. However, the District has recently
filed an application with the Texas Department of
Water Resources to have the District designated as
the entity to provide the wastewater collection,
treatment, and/or disposal system or systems to
serve all or part of a defined area, as authorized
by chapter 26, subchapter C, of the Texas Water
Code. IF the District is so designated and
constructs a regional sewage disposal facility, itp. 1327
