Bill > A516

This bill requires public water systems to provide certain notice of boil water notices. Specifically, it mandates that public water systems notify the mayor or governing body, municipal clerk, affected customers, and school administrators within their service area when a boil water notice is issued and when it is rescinded. The bill also requires public water systems to solicit customers' preferred means of direct contact, such as telephone, email, or text message, and to use those methods to provide the required notices. Additionally, the bill states that public water systems must have the capability to directly notify their customers. The purpose of these provisions is to ensure timely and effective communication with the public when a boil water notice is in effect.
