S.B. No. 1662 is a bill that amends the Health and Safety Code in Texas by adding a new section, 341.0317, which pertains to the notification process for public drinking water supply systems prior to water quality testing. The bill allows the commission to provide notice to these systems, specifically those that source their water from underground, no more than 24 hours in advance of conducting water quality tests. This notification is intended to address complaints related to the water quality of the public drinking water supply.
The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its favorable report by the Senate Committee on Water, Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The introduction of this notice requirement aims to enhance communication between the commission and public drinking water systems, ensuring that they are informed before testing occurs.
