Establishes a letter grading system for community water systems in Missouri to ensure accountability and sustainability.
The bill creates a letter grading system for community water systems in Missouri, assigning grades from "A" to "F" based on quality, performance, and sustainability. Systems receiving a "D" or "F" face penalties, including oversight of federal or state funding and restrictions on using customer payments for non-water purposes. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources will publish these grades annually and provide a process for review and appeal. The bill also mandates that community water systems receiving federal funds submit a detailed plan for their use.
