A 10311 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Provides lead service line identification for certain water systems

This bill requires public water systems serving specific residential areas to identify lead service lines within their networks. It defines a "covered water system" as one serving at least fifteen service connections or twenty-five year-round residents, and it mandates that these systems conduct free inspections to determine if lead pipes are present. To facilitate these inspections, the law allows water systems to seek consent from property owners and, if owners do not respond within thirty days, to accept consent from adult occupants like tenants. If access is still denied, the water system may take legal steps authorized by local codes to secure entry, while ensuring that non-owner occupants are not held liable for consenting to the inspection.
