Bill Summary
Relative to local oversight of non-municipal public water supply systems. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to transfer the oversight of non-municipal public water supply systems (PWS) that use 10,000 gallons or less per day from the state Department of Public Health (the Department) to local health departments or boards of health. The bill requires the Department to create regulations for the consistent application of permitting responsibility for these smaller PWS systems, provide any associated funding to the local authorities, and collaborate with them to share the Department's record-keeping and database systems. The bill also allows for the grandfathering of existing Transient Non-Community (TNC) and Non-Transient Non-Community (NTNC) PWS systems under the local oversight framework, and requires the Department to provide uniform guidance to ensure the effective implementation of this change.
