HB 2061: Group B water systems

Authorizing county legislative authorities to approve certain group B water systems based upon their delivery of water meeting safe drinking water standards.

Summary

  • Authorizes some county legislative authorities to approve Group B public water systems with nine or fewer connections based on the quality of the water the system delivers rather than on the quality of the raw groundwater source.
  • Limits the authority to approve Group B public water systems to counties with fewer than 50,000 residents in Eastern Washington that border Canada, and terminates those counties' authority to approve Group B public water systems in 2021.
