Water Usage Notification Amendments

HB 536 requires Utah water suppliers to notify customers when their monthly water usage significantly increases. Retail water suppliers (like municipal utilities) must implement automated systems by July 2027 to track usage and send notifications via mail, email, or online portals. Secondary water suppliers (such as private providers) have similar requirements but with phased deadlines based on their metering status, all by July 2031. The law excludes suppliers exempt from metering and specifies that notifications do not create legal liability for water companies.
