Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act (state act) , requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health. The state act authorizes the state board to take certain actions relating to the inspection of public water systems, including inspecting and copying any records, reports, test results, or other information required to carry out the provisions of the act.
This bill would require the state board to additionally inspect each public water system by establishing a program for the testing of water quality that tests random samples of water taken from locations within the public water system that are at or near to an ultimate destination of water delivery in order to test for water quality consistency throughout the delivery system.
