Bill Summary
This bill would require the owner or operator of a public water system water to reimburse a residential customer at the request of the municipality in which the customer resides, for the cost of water testing at the residence by a lab certified by the Department of Environmental Protection, when the testing is necessitated by the exceedance of a maximum contaminant level, or action level, as appropriate, of a federal or State drinking water standard by the public water system. The bill prohibits the costs of the water testing from being passed through to the public water system's regulated rate customers.
