AS 46.07.050. Operation of Facilities.
- (a) It is the responsibility of the village governing body to maintain and operate the safe water and hygienic sewage
disposal facility, and upon completion of the facility the commissioner shall execute the necessary transfers of title
to vest complete ownership of the facility in the governing body. The commissioner may not construct a facility
without first receiving satisfactory assurances from the village governing body that it will, upon completion of a
facility, accept ownership and responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the facility.
- (b) Whenever the commissioner determines that the village governing body does not have sufficient financial resources to
operate and maintain the facility, the commissioner may make grants to the governing body in amounts which, when
combined with other financial assistance available to it, will enable the governing body to operate and maintain the
facility.
- (c) When necessary, the commissioner may require the creation of a nonprofit corporation in the village and shall contract
with this corporation in order to carry out the purpose of this chapter. The contract must provide that when an
unincorporated community, which for purposes of this chapter is under contract to the state, subsequently is
incorporated, then the contract terminates at the time of incorporation and the governing body of the newly
incorporated city assumes the powers and duties set out in this chapter for the governing bodies of other incorporated
cities.
