§ 12-22. Regional utility service areas.  


Latest version.
  • Regional Utility Service Areas (RUSAs), as set forth in reference manual 6(A) [section 12-21(a)], are established for the purpose of planning for the provision of utility service to existing and future PCU customers. Because of the large size and topographic diversity of Polk County, it is not practical to construct a single unified or a completely interconnected system of utility facilities. Therefore, a series of separate regional utility systems is provided as needed in accordance with reasonable and acceptable engineering standards and economic principles. Changes to the boundaries of the regional utility service areas shall be accomplished in accordance with state statutes.
