California Code, Public Utilities Code - PUC § 18055

(a) There is an urgent need for immediate action in providing an adequate system of sewer treatment and export facilities in order to prevent the pollution of the waters of Lake Tahoe.

(b) There are areas in these districts which are and will continue to be required to install sewerage collection systems which cannot now be connected to the major sewerage works and system of the districts.

(c) All areas of these districts are being required to connect to and use the works and system of the districts where they are available to them, but there is no economical means of providing the necessary intervening facilities which will be inviting to the owners of said areas to provide said facilities.

(d) The procedure provided in this chapter will stimulate and engender said purpose and thus help to bring about an early solution to the Lake Tahoe water pollution problem.
