Bill > SB1291

This bill, SB 1291, makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing law regarding drinking water consolidation in California. Specifically, it amends the findings and declarations section of the California Safe Drinking Water Act, which outlines the State Water Resources Control Board's authority to order the consolidation of water systems or the extension of service from a receiving water system. This authority is triggered when a public water system or a state small water system serving a disadvantaged community (a community with a median household income below 80% of the statewide median) consistently fails to provide safe drinking water, or when a disadvantaged community relies heavily on domestic wells that also consistently fail. The bill's change is to slightly rephrase the introductory language of these findings and declarations, from "as follows:" to "all of the following:", without altering the substance of the law itself.
