The bill proposes an appropriation of six million dollars ($6,000,000) from the general fund to the Department of Environment. This funding is designated for the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 and aims to enhance the support available to owners of private drinking water wells. The support includes provisions for well water testing and treatment, ensuring that private well owners have access to necessary resources for maintaining water quality.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund. This ensures that funds are utilized effectively within the designated timeframe, promoting accountability in the use of state resources for public health and safety related to drinking water.
