Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits the Department of Natural Resources from requiring a
municipal water system to provide continuous disinfection of the water that it
supplies unless federal law requires continuous disinfection or unless water quality
data, well construction, or water system construction indicates a potential health
hazard.
This bill requires a municipal water system to provide continuous disinfection
of the water that it provides.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
