This bill aims to advance water access equity by requiring public and private water utilities to file quarterly reports with the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The reports will provide disaggregated data by zip code on various customer service metrics, including the number of customers, water shutoffs, late fees, and customer assistance programs. The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs will then report annually on the results of these equity audit reports to the state legislature. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2024.
