A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the installation of a treatment system by certain

public drinking water supply systems.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter C, Chapter 341, Health and Safety

Code, is amended by adding Section 341.0365 to read as follows:

Sec.

341.0365.

TREATMENT SYSTEMS FOR CERTAIN UNDERGROUND

SOURCES. The commission by order may require a public drinking

water supply system that serves fewer than 100 connections and

obtains its water supply from an underground source to install a

treatment system, which may include a filtration system, for that

source if the public water system:

(1)

has repeatedly exceeded the maximum contaminant

level or secondary constituent level for one or more parameters

established by the commission;

(2)

has been the subject of more than one

substantiated water quality complaint submitted to the commission,

not including a complaint submitted to the commission regarding

water quality issues associated with the distribution system that

are not related to water quality issues from the underground

source, during the preceding 12 months for which the commission has

determined a need to install additional treatment measures,

including requiring the public water system to install a filtration

system; and

(3)

can install at a reasonable cost the treatment

system for that source to manage an exceedance of a secondary

constituent level, if applicable.

SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
