15-2905. Statewide  inventory  of existing significant deficiencies in
           water supply systems.
The commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner of health  and
  utilizing  information requested from the responsible local officials as
  well  as  relevant  information  developed  through  titles  eleven  and
  thirteen  of  this  article,  shall cause to be prepared an inventory of
  existing  significant  deficiencies   in   water   supply   availability
  throughout   the   state,  including  specific  needs  for  improvement,
  rehabilitation and  establishment  of  water  supply,  distribution  and
  transmission  facilities. Such inventory shall also identify those water
  supply  systems  affected  or  threatened  by  intrusions  of  hazardous
  materials  or  wastes  and  the  nature  of  remediation  required. Such
  inventory  shall  be  completed  and  transmitted   to   the   governor,
  legislature and the council by July first, nineteen hundred eighty-five.
The  commissioner  in  consultation with the secretary of state, shall
  also cause to be prepared a review and summary of existing statutory and
  constitutional provisions relating to the  provision  and  financing  of
  water  supply  facilities by local governments, including such provision
  and financing through inter-local cooperation. Such review  and  summary
  shall   also   identify   any   existing  statutory  and  constitutional
  constraints against the  effective  and  efficient  provision  of  sound
  financing, on a revenue or general obligation basis, of such facilities.
  Such  review  and  summary  shall  be  completed  and transmitted to the
  governor, legislature and the council by January first, nineteen hundred
  eighty-six. At such time and based upon the above inventory  and  review
  and  summary,  the  commissioner  shall  also  cause  to  be  prepared a
  compilation  of  those  instances  in  which  correction   of   existing
  significant  deficiencies  appears to be beyond the reasonable financial
  capabilities of the affected communities.
