Bill > HB06576

This bill aims to establish new protocols for identifying, cleaning up, and preventing contamination in well water throughout the state, with the ultimate goal of ensuring all residents have access to clean and safe drinking water. While the provided XML document is quite brief and lacks specific details about the exact protocols, the bill signals an intent to create a comprehensive approach to addressing water quality issues in private and community wells. The legislation would likely involve creating a systematic process for testing well water, identifying potential contaminants, developing remediation strategies when contamination is found, and implementing preventative measures to protect water sources from future pollution. Such protocols might include mandating regular water quality testing, establishing standards for acceptable contaminant levels, creating notification procedures when contamination is detected, and outlining steps for treating or replacing contaminated water sources. By proposing these protocols, the bill seeks to protect public health and ensure that residents in areas relying on well water have confidence in the safety of their drinking water.
