Bill overview
The Water Shutoff Protection Act aims to safeguard residents from unexpected water service interruptions. It establishes a process requiring water providers to notify customers at least three times before a shutoff, detailing the reason and available payment options. The bill defines ‘critical care customers’ and expands eligibility for water affordability programs to include those receiving various forms of assistance, such as food assistance or energy assistance. It also outlines specific requirements for providers regarding communication, payment plans, and protections for tenants and vulnerable customers, while establishing a process for addressing non-compliance with water affordability programs.
