HB 2165 Summary

• Repeals sections 45-108.02 and 45-108.03 and consolidates water supply requirements for subdivisions outside active management areas into a single framework under section 45-108.

• Requires cities, towns, and counties to approve subdivision plats only if the director of water resources has determined an adequate water supply exists for the subdivision or the subdivider has obtained a written commitment from a designated water provider.

• Eliminates previous exemptions allowing subdivisions to proceed with motor vehicle or train water transport and instead requires public disclosure through recorded documents stating that water must be hauled to the lot.

• Mandates the state real estate commissioner issue public reports only upon confirmation of adequate water supply or written commitment from a designated water provider, with specific disclosure requirements for subdivisions approved under previous exemptions.

• Applies these statewide adequate water supply requirements uniformly across municipalities and counties, while maintaining separate provisions for active management areas and specific provisions for the upper San Pedro water district.
