AB 990: Public water systems: emergency notification plan.

This bill aims to amend the California Safe Drinking Water Act to require public water systems to provide notification to customers in their preferred language when updating the emergency notification plan, if resources are available. The bill builds upon existing law, which requires public water systems to have an emergency notification plan approved by the state board. The existing law requires immediate notice to customers of significant water quality issues that pose an imminent danger to public health. The bill encourages public water systems to provide language-accessible notification to customers, enhancing the existing requirement for timely and effective communication.
