An act relating to the extension of isolation distances of potable water supplies and wastewater systems onto neighboring property

This bill would require water and wastewater system permit holders to compensate neighboring property owners before extending isolation distances onto their land. Currently, isolation distances create buffer zones around water infrastructure where certain activities are restricted, but this legislation would change how those buffers apply to adjacent properties. Under the new rules, a permit holder cannot impose restrictions on a neighbor's property without providing compensation for that use and the limitations it creates. The measure directly affects property owners near water systems and the agencies that issue permits for water infrastructure projects.
