Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

Whenever any plat
is subject to the terms and requirements of sections 50-1326 through 50-1329,
Idaho Code, no person shall offer for recording, or cause to be recorded, a
plat unless he or she shall have certified that at least one (1) of the
following is the case:
(1) The individual lots described in the plat will not be served by any
water system common to one (1) or more of the lots, but will be served by
individual wells.
(2) All of the lots in the plat will be eligible to receive water service
from an existing water system, be the water system municipal, a water
district, a public utility subject to the regulation of the Idaho public
utilities commission, or a mutual or nonprofit water company, and the existing
water distribution system has agreed in writing to serve all of the lots in
the subdivision.
(3) If a new water system will come into being to serve the subdivision,
that it has or will have sufficient contributed capital to allow the water
system's wells, springboxes, reservoirs and mains to be constructed to provide
service without further connection charges or fees to the landowners of the
lots, except for connection of laterals, meters or other plant exclusively for
the lot owner's own use.
Failure to comply with this section is a misdemeanor subject to the
provisions of section 50-1329, Idaho Code. The certification must be filed or
recorded as part of the plat document preserved for public inspection.
Property owners in the area encompassed by the plat will be entitled to the
benefits of the third provision of this section when that option is chosen.
