1. King County has adopted K.C.C. chapter 13.24, which requires approval of comprehensive plans for sewer utilities that obtain wastewater in unincorporated King County as a prerequisite for: operating in unincorporated King County; receiving approval for annexation proposals; being granted right-of-way franchises; and being given approval for right-of-way construction permits.
