| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||

| by metes and bounds or by lot and block number, if there is a | ||
| recorded map or plat and survey of the area; | ||
| (2) state the general nature of the work proposed to be | ||
| done, the necessity for the work, and the cost of the project as | ||
| then estimated by those filing the petition; [ |
||
| (3) include a water conservation plan that meets the | ||
| requirements of Section 13.146, regardless of whether that section | ||
| applies to the district; and | ||
| (4) include a name of the district which shall be | ||
| generally descriptive of the locale of the district followed by the | ||
| words Municipal Utility District, or if a district is located | ||
| within one county, it may be designated "__________ County | ||
| Municipal Utility District No. ______." (Insert the name of the | ||
| county and proper consecutive number.) The proposed district shall | ||
| not have the same name as any other district in the same county. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act applies only to a petition requesting | ||
| the creation of a municipal utility district that is filed with the | ||
| Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on or after the effective | ||
| date of this Act. A petition requesting the creation of a municipal | ||
| utility district that was filed with the commission before the | ||
| effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the | ||
| date the petition was filed, and the former law is continued in | ||
| effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect on the 91st day after the | ||
| last day of the legislative session. | ||
