State Water Resources Control Board: Small Business Water Regulation Working Group: streamlining recommendations.

Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health. This bill would require the state board to establish and convene a working group composed of representatives of affected small businesses, environmental justice advocates, and representatives of working lands to review the state board's regulation and enforcement of water quality standards for small businesses that use their own, independent sources of water supply that may not meet the water quality standards imposed on public water systems or public water suppliers. The bill would authorize the state board to exercise its discretion in appointing members to the working group.
