This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding potable water systems. It modifies the project cost thresholds for revisions, additions, extensions, or modifications to water lines, changing the current limit from twelve thousand five hundred dollars to $12,500 for projects costing $12,500 or less, and from fifty thousand dollars to $50,000 for projects exceeding that amount. Additionally, it clarifies that the design of such projects must be sealed by a registered professional engineer, with construction reviewed for compliance with the design. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits any person, including political subdivisions, from adding fluoride to public water systems. It also updates the language regarding lead contamination notifications and modifies the reference to the federal safe drinking water act by changing 1661 to 1660. Lastly, it maintains the existing allowance for public water systems to undertake necessary construction to correct noncompliance with standards and rules.
