Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to lead service line identification

AI Summary

This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for identifying lead service lines in public water systems serving at least 15 service connections or 25 year-round residents. The bill defines key terms such as "service line" (piping connecting a water main to a building), "lead service line" (a line made of lead or containing lead components), and introduces provisions for how water systems should conduct service line inspections. Specifically, if a water system cannot obtain consent to inspect a property, they must first notify the property owner and request access, giving the owner 30 days to respond. If the owner does not respond, the water system can then seek consent from adult non-owner occupants like tenants. If consent is still not obtained, the water system may take actions consistent with local regulations to secure access. The bill mandates that free service line inspections must occur within 60 days of obtaining consent and importantly protects non-owner adult occupants from liability for providing access for these inspections. The goal of the legislation is to help identify potentially hazardous lead service lines, which can pose significant health risks, particularly to children and vulnerable populations, by facilitating comprehensive property inspections.
