Increasing transparency and consumer protection in water system rates.

Summary

HB 1906 changes several state statutes so the Utilities and Transportation Commission can set clearer standards for water‑rate approvals, requires water‑system plans to include ten‑year capital projects, and limits how water utilities can sell or merge assets. It also gives the state health board more authority to set rules for public water systems and creates safeguards for rate‑setting, such as caps on returns and requirements for consumer notice.
