This bill mandates that the owner or operator of a public water system must promptly notify the governing body of a municipality and 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 legislation aims to enhance public awareness and safety regarding drinking water quality by ensuring that relevant local authorities and educational institutions are informed of any violations in a timely manner. This proactive approach is intended to facilitate swift action to protect public health and ensure that affected communities are aware of potential risks associated with their drinking water. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
