Bill > HB2703

This bill requires all community water systems to establish comprehensive valve and hydrant inspection programs. For valves, this includes inspecting them every ten years, repairing or replacing broken ones, and within five years of August 28, 2020, mapping their locations using a geographic information system (GIS) or an alternative physical mapping system. For hydrants, the bill mandates scheduled testing, repair or replacement of broken hydrants, a plan to flush every hydrant and dead-end main, and maintaining inspection, testing, and flushing records for six years. Similar to valves, hydrant locations must also be identified using GIS or an alternative mapping system within five years of August 28, 2020. However, these requirements do not apply to state parks, cities with over 30,000 residents, certain large charter counties, or public service commission-regulated utilities serving more than 30,000 customers.
