Establishes the drinking water protection act to enforce watershed rules and regulations for water quality.
The drinking water protection act allows water suppliers to draft, review, and adopt watershed rules and regulations to protect water quality. The Department of Health must approve, modify, or disapprove these rules within twelve months. The act mandates that suppliers update their rules if they haven't been revised since 2017. The Department of Health can inspect non-residential properties within the watershed for compliance and may bring civil actions for violations. The act also requires annual reports on watershed rule adoptions and enforcement actions.
