Bill Summary
Relative to the reserve power systems of publicly owned treatment works. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) to maintain a reliable and sufficient source of on-site reserve power that is independent of the regional electricity grid. The bill mandates that POTWs conduct regular systems assessments to ensure their reserve power can fully meet demand during any reasonably anticipated unscheduled power outage from the grid, with assessments to be performed at least quarterly. The purpose is to ensure POTWs can continue operating at full capacity in the event of a grid outage.
