S.B. No. 1662 amends the Health and Safety Code by adding Section 341.0317, which establishes a requirement for the Texas commission to provide notice to certain public drinking water supply systems before conducting water quality testing. Specifically, the bill allows the commission to notify these systems, which source their water from underground, of its intent to perform testing related to water quality complaints, with a notice period of no more than 24 hours in advance.
The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House with overwhelming support. This legislative change aims to enhance communication between the commission and public drinking water systems, ensuring that they are informed prior to any testing that may impact their operations or public perception.
