Referred to Consumer Protection, Technology & Utilities
Summary
The legislation adds a new section to the state’s utility code requiring each wastewater utility to create a program where customers can install a deduct meter. Eligible residential customers can choose to be billed based on the amount of water that actually enters the sewer system, after subtracting water used for irrigation, pools, and other non‑sewage purposes. The bill also gives the state utility commission authority to approve meters, set standards, and oversee the program.
