The bill aims to enhance transparency regarding sewage spills in Washington State by establishing a public notification system and a dedicated website for reporting such incidents. It mandates the Department of Ecology to develop a public-facing website by July 1, 2026, which will provide real-time information about sewage spills, including details such as the volume of discharge, treatment level, and geographic areas affected. Additionally, the department is required to update this information post-incident and ensure the website is accessible to individuals with limited English proficiency.

Furthermore, the bill requires the implementation of a public notification system by July 1, 2027, allowing the public to receive timely alerts about sewage spills within four hours of the department's notification. The department must also publish an annual report detailing sewage spills reported in the previous year, starting March 15, 2026. This report will include information on the waters impacted, duration, volume, and actions taken by the department, thereby promoting accountability and public awareness regarding sewage management in the state.
