GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
1983 SESSION

CHAPTER 1084 
HOUSE BILL 1795 

AN ACT TO REENACT FORMER STATUTORY AUTHORITY FOR PUBLIC SEWERAGE SYSTEMS TO EXERCISE THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN. 

Whereas, in the recent revision of North Carolina's statutory provisions concerning eminent domain, by unintentional oversight and inadvertence, the former statutory authority for eminent domain by "Public sewerage systems" was omitted (former G.S. 40-2(10)); and 
Whereas, in order to improve quality of life, protect our environment, and provide for the public benefit, the eminent domain authority for public sewerage systems must be restored; Now, therefore, 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 40A-3(a)(1) is hereby amended by adding "public sewerage systems," after "public water supplies,". 
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification. 
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 5th day of July, 1984.
