New Jersey S1014 requires water suppliers to reimburse residential customers for drinking water testing when standards are exceeded.

New Jersey S1014 mandates that water suppliers must reimburse residential customers for the cost of drinking water testing conducted by a laboratory certified by the Department of Environmental Protection. This reimbursement is required when the testing is prompted by the exceedance of a maximum contaminant level or action level of a federal or state drinking water standard by the public water system. The bill ensures that the costs of such testing are not passed on to the public water system’s regulated rate customers.
