Protecting The Territory of
Federally Indebted Rural
Water Associations/Districts/Non-Profits
Title 7 United States Code §1926(b) was enacted by the United States
Congress to (1) encourage the development of rural water systems throughout
the United States, (2) enable federally indebted water associations to
provide a cost effective and safe supply of water to rural residents and
(3) provide a secure means to repay government loans. This statute grants
federally indebted water associations/districts complete exclusivity
in selling water within their service area. Since the enactment of §1926(b),
federally indebted water associations/districts have been compelled to
file suit in Federal Court to enforce their lawful right to be the exclusive
water service provider within their service area. The following are some
examples of Court proceedings and other challenges encountered by Rural
Water.
