Provides lead service line identification by a public water system that serves certain areas.
The bill amends the public health law to mandate lead service line identification by public water systems serving specific areas. It defines a lead service line as one made of lead or containing lead components. Public water systems must identify these lines and conduct free inspections within 60 days of consent. If a customer or non-owner adult occupant refuses consent or cannot be readily obtained, the system may take actions consistent with local codes. The bill also clarifies that non-owner adult occupants are not liable for actions resulting from consenting to inspections.
