What’s in it

This bill requires public water supply systems that serve one or more of the most populous cities in this state to annually test the water supply for the presence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The bill defines “perfluoroalkyl substance” and “polyfluoroalkyl substance”. The bill requires a public water supply system that conducts testing pursuant to the bill to submit a report to the environmental protection commission no later than January following each test. For purposes of determining the population of a city under the bill, the most recent federal decennial census shall be used.
