AI Summary
This bill aims to grant local health departments or boards of health the authority to permit and oversee public water supply systems with an average daily use of 10,000 gallons per day or less. The Department of Environmental Protection (the "Department") will develop regulations to ensure a consistent permitting process, transfer any associated funding to the local entities, and provide training and access to the Department's recordkeeping and database systems. The Department will also amend existing regulations to establish a clear process for designating and permitting these smaller public water supply systems, including grandfathering of certain existing wells. The local health officials overseeing these systems will be required to have specific qualifications, such as being a Registered Sanitarian, Certified Health Officer, or Certified Public Water Supply Operator.
