SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Inspection of public water supply. Requires every public water supply operator to test public water supplies at least quarterly for the presence of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), an additive used in gasoline, which is a known carcinogen. The locality must maintain a record of the testing and, if the results of any test, indicate the presence of MTBE in excess of 15 parts per billion, the locality must immediately notify the Departments of Environmental Quality and Health. The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services will maintain and make available, upon request, a list of laboratories performing this testing. The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services will establish a fee system to offset the costs of testing performed by it on behalf of public water supply operators for MTBE and will also report to the Governor and the General Assembly by November 1, 2000, on the estimated costs and personnel requirements for administering the MTBE tests.
