This bill amends RSA 485:3 to establish a remediation pathway for community water systems that have been sanctioned by the Department of Environmental Services for missing required water tests or submitting late results. The new legal language inserted into the law allows these systems to return to their standard testing schedule after successfully submitting six consecutive water tests in a timely manner. This provision aims to provide a clear process for water systems to regain compliance and reduce the frequency of testing once they demonstrate consistent adherence to testing requirements.

The bill also includes a provision for its effective date, stating that it will take effect 60 days after its passage. The deletion of any existing language is not specified in the summary, but the focus is on the new paragraph that outlines the conditions under which community water systems can revert to their previous testing schedule. This legislative change is intended to encourage compliance and improve the management of water quality testing in community water systems.
