Bill > SB00733

This bill requires public water suppliers to conduct monthly testing for PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), a group of human-made chemicals widely used in various industries, to ensure that PFAS levels do not exceed twenty parts per trillion in drinking water. If the average of three months of testing shows PFAS levels higher than this standard, water suppliers must take corrective actions, which can include connecting to alternative water sources, installing specialized PFAS filtration systems, or blending water from wells with different PFAS concentrations to reduce overall contamination. The bill aims to establish a maximum contaminant level for PFAS in public drinking water supplies, addressing growing concerns about the potential health risks associated with these persistent chemicals that can accumulate in the human body over time.
