Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s colleges and universities to regularly test their drinking water for lead, report the results publicly, and install filters or treatment devices if lead levels are found to be too high. Institutions must identify buildings with lead pipes and fixtures and take immediate action to close off outlets with elevated lead levels while providing alternative water sources. The goal is to ensure students, faculty, and staff have access to safe drinking water.
