AGO Opinions with Topic: BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD

AGO 1991 No. 28  >  September 16, 1991

BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD – DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH – WATER – COUNTIES – CITIES AND TOWNS

Authority of Boundary Review Board to Review Extension of Water Service When the Extension Occurs Pursuant to a Coordinated Water System Plan RCW 70.116.020 establishes the procedure for adopting coordinated water system plans in areas designated as critical water supply service areas.  RCW 36.93.090(5) provides that a boundary review board may review extension of water service by a city or town outside existing corporate boundaries.  A boundary review board does not have authority under RCW 36.93.050(5) to review extension of water service beyond corporate city or town limits if it is consistent with the coordinated water system plan adopted pursuant to RCW 70.116.020.
