The bill amends Chapter 46-15 of the General Laws regarding "Water Resources Management" by adding a new section, 46-15-24, which outlines the obligations of municipal water supply entities. Specifically, it allows these entities, such as the New Shoreham Water District and the town of Jamestown, to limit their obligation to supply water only to applicants residing within their designated service areas, rather than to all residents within the entire municipality. This change aims to clarify the scope of service obligations for these water supply entities.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that defines the responsibilities of municipal water supply entities. It emphasizes that these entities can restrict water service based on geographic boundaries, thereby potentially streamlining operations and resource management. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
