Subject: [Oama] Mandatory use of Town's natural gas and water
Fellow Attorneys,
I have a town that is interested in making it mandatory for all residents to use the Town’s natural gas and water services. I have only been able to locate State Statute that authorizes Town’s to enforce residents to use the Town’s trash services and statutes and Attorney General Opinions that relate to the regulation of drilling. I did find Title 52, Section 137.1 that provides: "A municipality, county or other political subdivision may enact reasonable ordinances, rules and regulations concerning road use, traffic, noise and odors incidental to oil and gas operations within its boundaries, provided such ordinances, rules and regulations are not inconsistent with any regulation established by Title 52 of the Oklahoma Statutes or the Corporation Commission.”
Has anyone dealt with this issue or been able to find a relevant statute or case?
Thank you in advance for any guidance.
