Modifying requirements for public water systems

Summary

The bill amends West Virginia's public health code to create two categories of backflow prevention assemblies and to cap how often they must be inspected. Low‑hazard assemblies can be inspected no more than once every three years, while high‑hazard assemblies must be inspected each year. This change aims to balance safety with reduced regulatory burden on water system operators.
