This bill mandates that the owner or operator of a public water system must promptly notify the governing body of a municipality, as well as the chief administrator of every school district, charter school, and nonpublic school within that municipality, whenever there is a violation of drinking water quality standards. The notification must be made via telephone and electronic mail and must include detailed information about the contaminant that exceeds the standard, including its name, the maximum contaminant level or action level, the level detected, the dates of testing, and the locations of the samples. Additionally, the bill requires the water supplier to provide suggested remedies for customers to address the violation.

The bill aims to enhance transparency and ensure that affected parties are informed about potential health risks associated with drinking water quality violations. It emphasizes the importance of timely communication and the provision of relevant information to help mitigate the impact of such violations on public health and safety. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
