Fayette General ordinance (§ 705.280)

These rules and regulations have been adopted to govern the water services furnished by the owner in a uniform manner for the benefit of the owner and its water users and are subject to change as herein provided without notice to any water users or any other person. All such changes must be approved by the State Director of the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, so long as the owner has unpaid obligations which are held or insured by the United States of America. Any amendment or change to the rules and regulations shall be effective on the date such amendment or change is passed by the owner, as herein provided, or on such other date as the owner may by resolution designate. Such amendment or change shall be ineffective only if not approved by the USDA, Rural Development, as hereinbefore provided, but in the event such approval is given by the USDA, Rural Development, said approval shall be retroactive to the date of such change or amendment, as provided herein, or as otherwise provided by resolution of the owner. If any portion of these rules and regulations shall be declared invalid by competent authority, such invalidity shall not effect the validity of the remaining portion.
