AI Summary

This bill, concerning water treatment and wastewater treatment facilities, aims to enhance public safety by granting the Board of Examiners of Plumbers and Gasfitters the authority to regulate and establish standards for all piping work within these critical systems. This means that any piping installation or repair in water treatment plants, which purify water for consumption, and wastewater treatment plants, which process sewage, will now be considered the responsibility of licensed plumbers. Furthermore, the bill mandates that such work will be subject to inspection by the designated plumbing inspector, ensuring adherence to the new standards set by the Board.
