AB10: Repairing Private Water and Sewer Systems in Common-Interest Communities

Last scannedAug 22, 2026, 1:27 AM

In one sentence

This law allows local governments to fix private water or sewer systems owned by common-interest communities as part of neighborhood improvement projects, while changing the rules for stopping these specific repairs.

What it does

  • Adds repairing private water and sewer systems in common-interest communities to the list of allowed neighborhood improvement projects.
  • Removes the ability of property owners to dissolve an improvement district created specifically for fixing these water or sewer systems.
  • Stops written protests from automatically blocking a project that repairs water or sewer systems owned by a common-interest community unless the governing body decides otherwise.
  • Allows local governments to proceed with these specific repair projects even if residents file complaints, as long as the government does not deem those complaints proper enough to stop the work.
  • Removes requirements for annual public meetings and assessment roll updates for improvement districts focused on these private system repairs.

Who it affects

  • Counties, cities, or towns that manage local improvement projects
  • Common-interest communities with privately owned water or sewer systems
  • Property owners within the specific areas where these repair projects take place

Limits and unknowns

  • The law does not specify how much money will be needed for these repair projects.
  • It is unclear if this change applies to water or sewer systems that are already broken before the law takes effect.
  • The text does not explain exactly what factors a governing body must consider when deciding whether complaints should stop a project.
