Requires boil water notices to be provided by certain public water systems via telephone, email or text message.
This bill requires public water systems in New Jersey to notify customers about boil water notices within 24 hours of an emergency. Starting 90 days after enactment, systems must use customers' preferred contact methods (like phone, email, or text) instead of relying solely on traditional notices, and must have the capability to send these alerts. Notices must include the affected area, cause of the notice, required actions, and a contact number for questions. The bill applies to public water systems serving communities (excluding transient systems), directly affecting residents who receive water bills from these systems. It also mandates that water systems notify customers when a boil water notice is lifted using the same contact methods.
