The act allows for wholesale water and sewer authorities to be created; to do so, two or more providers shall petition the circuit court in which the proposed authority is to be located.

Public notice is required once the court has the petition, and the court has, within its discretion, the permission to call a public hearing on the formation of such a district.

The act allows for an authority, once it has been formed, to add to the membership; the requirements for such an addition are also laid out in the act.
