LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 355, as introduced, Chu. State Water Resources Control Board: public water systems: collaboration.

Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, imposes on the State Water Resources Control Board various responsibilities and duties relating to providing a dependable, safe supply of drinking water. The act prohibits a person from operating a public water system without a permit and requires any person who owns a public water system to ensure that the system, among other things, provides a reliable and adequate supply of pure, wholesome, healthful, and potable water.

This bill would require the state board to collaborate with all public water systems to improve drinking water infrastructure and ensure adequate, safe, and clean drinking water supplies.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 116327 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:

116327.

The state board shall collaborate with all public water systems to improve drinking water infrastructure and ensure adequate, safe, and clean drinking water supplies.
