AI Summary
This bill requires the owner or operator of a public water system, which is a system that provides water for human consumption to at least 15 service connections or regularly serves at least 25 individuals, to immediately notify by phone and email the governing body of a municipality and the chief administrator of every school district, charter school, nonpublic school, and institution of higher education located within that municipality whenever the water system incurs a violation requiring a Tier 2 Public Notice. A Tier 2 Public Notice is a specific type of notification mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under federal regulations for certain drinking water quality violations that are less serious than those requiring a Tier 1 notice but still pose a potential health risk. The notification must include details about the contaminant exceeding the standard, its level, the dates of testing, and suggested remedies for customers.
