HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 115
(By Delegates Ennis, Manchin and Proudfoot)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the
feasability of requiring residential, business and industrial
water connections along newly established waterlines.
Whereas, Clean potable water plays a vital role in the health
and well-being of West Virginians; and
Whereas, The installation of waterlines and fire hydrants would
greatly improve fire service as well as a possible reduction in
fire service premiums for thousands of residents and business
owners across the state; and
Whereas, Newly installed waterlines will have a substantial
impact in the promotion of economic development in some of our
state's most rural areas; and
Whereas, Improvements to the infrastructure in these areas
would lay the ground work for new growth; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study residential, business and industrial connections
along newly established waterlines; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance obtain the testimony of acknowledged experts and others, as
well as all records, that it deems necessary to complete a thorough
study of these issues and matters ancillary thereto; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2009, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
