SB 5045: Drinking water quality

Providing for investigation of consumer complaints regarding drinking water quality.

Summary

  • Any customer of a system that is subject to UTC jurisdiction may file a complaint with the UTC when the customer has reason to believe that the system's water does not meet state drinking water standards. The UTC is required to investigate such complaints, and to request either DOH or the local health department to test the system's water, at the system's expense.
