A bill that would have dramatically changed how Utahns pay for water will not be advancing in the state legislature this year.
On Wednesday, Senate Revenue & Taxation Committee Chair Dan McCay pulled his bill, announcing to an interim committee"there will be some reworking."
"This is a big lift. It is a hard issue. It has been entrenched for generations to be taxed this way. It shouldn’t surprise anyone it’s going to take more than pulling the duct tape off," Sen. McCay, R-Riverton, told FOX 13 News afterward. Sen. McCay introduced a bill to pivot to a rate-based system. He argued it could force water conservation once Utahns saw the"true cost" of water.
Local water districts and municipal governments raised serious concerns about the proposed legislation. The argued that changing the property tax formula could harm their ability to pay for critical water infrastructure projects designed to ensure public health and safety. Those projects can cost millions.
