49-41B-4. Permit required before construction of facility after certain date.

No utility may begin construction of a facility in the state on or after July 1, 1979, without first having obtained a permit issued with respect to such facility by the Public Utilities Commission pursuant to this chapter. No such permit is required for an associated facility to be constructed for the purpose of transporting water if the water management board has issued a permit to appropriate water for the use to be made by that facility. Any facility, with respect to which a permit is required, shall thereafter be constructed, operated, and maintained in conformity with such permit including any terms, conditions, or modifications contained therein.
