An act relating to drinking water.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 805, as introduced, Arambula. Drinking water: consolidation.

Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, provides for the operation of public water systems and imposes on the State Water Resources Control Board various responsibilities and duties. The act authorizes the state board to order consolidation with, or extension of service from, a receiving water system in either of the following circumstances: (1) a public water system or state small water system, serving a disadvantaged community, consistently fails to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water, or is an at-risk water system, or 2) a disadvantaged community, in whole or in part, is substantially reliant on domestic wells that consistently fail to provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water, or are at-risk domestic wells.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation to authorize the board to order consolidation of wastewater.
