§ 349.961. Water projects: Revised Statutes Preliminary plan; approval
1. When any municipality or other obligor desires to undertake a water project, it
may present its preliminary plan to the Board for approval. If the proposed water project affects drinking water, the Board shall request that
the Administrator of the Division of Environmental Protection of the State Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources submit comments and recommendations regarding
the project. The Board shall analyze the potential yield of the water project, and may tentatively
approve it if it will preserve or increase the water available for beneficial use
in this State. 2. If the Board, after a public hearing on the issue, tentatively approves the water
project, the municipality or other obligor may proceed to prepare a final plan and
submit it for final approval. If the Board finally approves the water project, the cost of the final plan may
be included in the cost of the water project. If the Board does not finally approve the water project, the Director may, within
the limits of money available for this purpose in the Account for the Financing of
Water Projects, reimburse a municipality for the costs incurred after the tentative
approval.
