Requires water supplier to notify affected municipalities, school districts, charter schools, nonpublic schools, and institutions of higher education of violations of drinking water quality standards.*
This bill requires public water suppliers in New Jersey to immediately notify affected municipalities, school districts, charter schools, nonpublic schools, and colleges when a drinking water violation occurs that triggers a federal Tier 2 public notice. Suppliers must provide specific details including the contaminant, test dates, locations, and levels exceeding safety standards, plus suggested remedies. The notification must be sent via phone and email to the relevant local government and education leaders. This directly affects water providers and ensures schools/communities receive timely, detailed information about water quality issues.
