                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CREATION; PUBLIC PURPOSE (§ 15.2-7201)

There is hereby created a political subdivision of the Commonwealth known as the
BVU Authority.

The BVU Authority is created for the express purpose of receiving, by operation
of this chapter, the powers, assets, and debts of that separately managed and
financed division of the City of Bristol, Virginia, heretofore known as Bristol
Virginia Utilities and to provide the services Bristol Virginia Utilities has
provided or may lawfully provide. The General Assembly therefore deems this to
be an entity conversion and for all purposes the BVU Authority is the same
entity as Bristol Virginia Utilities, which is hereby converted to the BVU
Authority. The BVU Authority shall exercise the rights and duties as hereinafter
set out to provide the various utility services it currently lawfully provides
all subject to the limitations as are herein set forth or referenced.
