471A.01 PUBLIC PURPOSE FINDINGS.
The legislature finds that the privatization of facilities for the prevention, control, and
abatement of water pollution, and the furnishing of potable water provides municipalities an
opportunity under appropriate circumstances to provide those capital intensive public services in
a manner that will speed construction and is less costly and more efficient than the furnishing of
those services through facilities exclusively owned and operated by municipalities. The legislature
further finds that other law may create unnecessary and costly obstacles to the privatization
of those capital intensive public services and that a comprehensive act is required to permit
municipalities to enter into appropriate contractual arrangements with private parties to facilitate
the privatization of those capital intensive public services.
