Municipal Utility District Act

California · PUC · §§ 11501 to 14403.5 · 486 sections

Overview

The Municipal Utility District Act governs the formation of municipal utility districts in California — local public agencies organized to provide utility service within a defined territory. It sets out the definitions and general rules under which such districts operate, and establishes the procedures for initiating a district's creation, either by resolution of a local governing body or by petition of interested parties. A proposal advanced through either route is then submitted to the voters, with formation turning on the outcome of that election.
