Requires public water systems to provide certain notice of boil water notices and violations of drinking water quality standards.
This bill requires public water systems in New Jersey to notify both local officials and customers when boil water notices are issued or lifted due to drinking water quality issues. Water providers must inform affected municipalities within one hour of learning about an emergency and notify customers within 24 hours using both phone and email, while also posting notices on their websites and social media. The legislation also mandates that water bills include a request for customers to specify their preferred contact method for future emergency notifications. These changes aim to improve communication speed and clarity during water quality emergencies, directly impacting public water system operators, municipal officials, and water customers across the state.
