Sewage - As enacted, clarifies that a utility system providing waste water service must provide a connection if certain criteria are met. - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 35; Title 7, Chapter 82 and Title 68, Chapter 221.

Summary

The bill amends Tennessee law so that a utility must provide a waste‑water connection to a property if a gravity sewer line is located next to the owner's land, not only when the line is on the property. It expands the current requirement to cover adjacent sewer lines, giving more property owners access to sewer service. The change aims to improve public health and infrastructure equity.
