Bill Summary

Requires certain water purveyors to identify, and use, alternative water supply source when perfluoralkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances exceed maximum contaminant levels.

AI Summary

This bill requires certain water purveyors (public community water systems) to identify and use an alternative water supply source when perfluoralkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exceed the maximum contaminant levels. Within 120 days of the bill's enactment, the water purveyors must submit a plan to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) identifying an alternative water supply to be used when a PFAS exceedance is discovered. The bill overrides the existing Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, requiring the water purveyors to immediately use the alternative water supply identified in their plan when a PFAS exceedance is discovered.
