In North Carolina, United States, the Sullivan Acts are a set of statutes passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in response to the bankrupting of all sewer and water districts in the City of Asheville and Buncombe County, North Carolina. As provided in the statute (Sullivan Act I), only the City of Asheville, in the provision of water, may not charge a higher rate for consumers outside city limits.[1] Since the enactment of the legislation, several significant changes have come to Asheville: economic prosperity, adoption and termination of a City-County water agreement, and repeated efforts at overturning the legislation.[2] While there are three Acts, the final two are modifications of the water agreement between the City of Asheville and Buncombe County.[1]
Considering the scope of issues, ranging from home rule to water rights, many different avenues of solutions have been sought. A State Representative for the area (District 116) at the time, Tim Moffitt, initiated a study committee on the issue, but was met with local opposition.[3] Many local citizens saw the move as continued domination by the North Carolina General Assembly and sought to regain water rights for Asheville.[4] The study committee has recently decided to move control of the water system from the city to the Metropolitan Sewerage District.[5]
