Summary

Any subdivision or land‑development ordinance must include a provision that water be supplied by a certified public utility, a bona‑fide cooperative, or a municipal entity, not by individual private wells. Developers must submit proof—such as a PUCO certificate, a cooperative agreement, or a municipal service commitment—before the subdivision receives final approval. The amendment seeks to ensure reliable, regulated water service for new developments.
