An Act advancing water access equity through utility reporting requirement

HD 1807 requires public and private water utilities in Massachusetts to file quarterly public reports with the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. These reports must include detailed, zip code-level data on customer disconnections, late fees, deferred payment agreements, assistance program enrollment, and communication practices. The bill aims to improve transparency around water access equity by making this data publicly available for analysis. Utilities must submit these reports starting January 1, 2024, with an annual summary report to state committees by March 15 each year.
