Modifying requirements for public water systems

Summary

The bill revises West Virginia’s public‑water statutes, creating low‑ and high‑hazard classifications for backflow prevention assemblies and setting inspection frequencies of once every three years for low‑hazard devices and annually for high‑hazard ones. It also amends broader health‑related rules covering land development, sanitary conditions of institutions, emergency‑medical training, bed‑and‑breakfast standards, fees, data collection, and state aid to local health departments. These changes aim to streamline water‑safety oversight while preserving other public‑health protections.
