Public water supplies and publicly owned treatment works required to annually report on water access policies.

The bill requires public water supplies and treatment facilities to report each year on their policies regarding access to water. This means they must share information about how they ensure that everyone can get the water they need. The goal is to improve transparency and accountability in water access.

Supporters of the bill would highlight its importance in promoting equitable access to water for all communities. They would argue that regular reporting will help identify and address disparities in water access, ensuring that everyone has the resources they need to thrive.

Critics might argue that the bill imposes unnecessary bureaucratic requirements on public water systems. They may contend that the reporting could divert resources and attention away from addressing more pressing infrastructure needs or that it may not lead to meaningful improvements in access.
