  (3) the water supply or sewer service corporation demonstrates that for the past 24 consecutive months it has conducted annual meetings as required by TWC, §67.007 and has operated in a manner that complies with the requirements for membership and nonprofit organizations as outlined in TWC, §13.002(11) and (24).
