Drinking Water Restructuring Amendments

Summary

The law authorizes Utah courts to place a receiver in charge of a public water system that breaches the Safe Drinking Water Act or a compliance order, and can force the owner to sell the system. It also requires the state drinking‑water director to report any civil action that could lead to a receivership or divestiture to the appropriate legislative committees. Daily civil and criminal penalties are established for violations, and the director must conduct a study on water‑system efficiency and report its findings.
