Bill Summary

An act to amend Sections 116681 and 116682 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to drinking water.

AI Summary

This bill would modify existing law to authorize the State Water Resources Control Board to order the consolidation or extension of drinking water service to a disadvantaged community that is substantially reliant on domestic wells that consistently fail to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water. The bill would impose additional requirements on the board, including considering the consent of domestic well owners and holding public meetings to notify and receive input from affected parties. The bill would also revise provisions related to the compensation of receiving water systems and limit the fees that can be charged to customers of a consolidated or extended water system.
