HB 601 Water supplies; inspection.

Introduced by: Allen W. Dudley | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Inspection of water supplies. Changes the requirement that localities test the public water supply for the presence of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) by requiring the test to be done annually rather than quarterly. MTBE is a synthetic compound used as an oxygenate in reformulated gasoline (RFG) to help reduce air pollution, and has been found to enter the water supply by leaking from faulty underground storage tanks. The State Board of Health may establish an alternate testing schedule for certain waterworks where annual testing is not otherwise required.
