Cal. Civ. Code § 170-15-1-13
"Water or sewer utility" defined
Operative Text
Sec. 13. "Water or sewer utility" has the meaning as set forth in IC 8-1-2-1.2(j).
Section 170-15-1-13 of Indiana's 170 IAC 15 establishes the official meaning of the term "water or sewer utility" for purposes of the regulation by directing readers to the definition already codified at IC 8-1-2-1.2(j). Rather than creating a new or independent definition, this provision anchors the regulatory term to the existing statutory framework. The practical effect is that any entity qualifying as a "water or sewer utility" under IC 8-1-2-1.2(j) carries that same status throughout 170 IAC 15.

Operators who provide or arrange water or sewer services as part of a rental arrangement generally look to that statutory definition to determine whether a given service provider or arrangement falls within the regulation's scope.
