(a) Pursuant to subsection (f) of Amendment No. 373 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, the Blount County Commission may levy, in addition to any other tax, an ad valorem tax in the amount of two mills on each dollar of taxable property in the county. The revenue from the additional tax shall be paid to the Blount County Water Authority Trust Fund, which shall be a separate fund within the county general fund and shall be used only for the expansion of existing facilities and service of water authorities in the county. There is created the Blount County Water Authority which shall administer the fund. The authority shall be composed of one member from each town council if the town council operates the water department, one member from each water authority, one member for each water board in existence on May 15, 1992, and one member appointed by the county commission. All appointees to the authority shall serve at the pleasure of their appointing authorities. All appointments shall be made within 30 days of May 15, 1992. The Blount County Water Authority shall issue rules and regulations for the implementation and administration of this section within 60 days of May 15, 1992.
(b) The increase in the rate of the tax provided by this section is subject to the approval of a majority of the qualified electors of the county who vote on the proposed increase at the next general, primary, constitutional, or special election held for that purpose.
