Nevada Revised Statutes Title 25. Public Organizations for Community Service § 318.140. Sanitary sewer improvements

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

In the case of a district created wholly or in part for acquiring sanitary sewer improvements:

1. The board may:

(a) Construct, reconstruct, improve or extend the sanitary sewer system or any part thereof, including, without limitation, mains, laterals, wyes, tees, meters and collection, treatment and disposal plants.

(b) Sell any product or by-product thereof and acquire the appropriate outlets within or without the district and extend the sewer lines of the district thereto.

(c) Enter into and perform, without any election, contracts or agreements for a term not to exceed 50 years with any person or a public agency, to provide the services, equipment or supplies necessary or appropriate to conduct tests of the discharge of pollutants into the state's water and to report the results of those tests as required by chapter 445A of NRS or the regulations adopted thereunder. For the purposes of this paragraph, “public agency” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 277.100.

2. The provisions of chapters 332 and 339 of NRS do not apply to a contract under which a private developer extends a sewer main to his or her development or installs any appurtenances to that extension. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the provisions of chapter 338 of NRS do not apply to such a contract. If the developer does not pay all of the initial construction costs of the extension, the provisions of NRS 338.013 to 338.090, inclusive, apply to the contract. The board, the developer, any contractor who is awarded a contract or enters into an agreement to perform the extension or installation of appurtenances to the extension, and any subcontractor who performs any portion of the extension or installation of appurtenances to the extension shall comply with the provisions of NRS 338.013 to 338.090, inclusive, in the same manner as if the board had undertaken the extension or had awarded the contract.
