§ 41-22. Legislative finding.

It is hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination that the extensive growth of population and attendant industry and commerce throughout the County of Palm Beach has given rise to public health and water supply problems of state and county concern, in that many areas in said county are not served by water and sewer facilities normally and generally provided and maintained by the municipalities of the county or their agencies or instrumentalities or by private corporations or persons and are not otherwise adequately provided for; that many such areas are in extreme need of such sewage disposal and water supply facilities, and that it is the intent and purpose of this act [article] to provide means for said county to alleviate such conditions in such areas.
