Abstract

This Division of the Water Code of California concerns a “Regional water system”, i.e. facilities for the storage, treatment, and transmission of water owned and operated by a regional wholesale water supplier, other than the city of San Francisco. The system foresees sale by a regional wholesale water supplier to wholesale customers, i.e. local government agencies and public utilities that purchase water from a regional wholesale water supplier and distribute that water to retail customers in their respective service areas. The State Department of Public Health shall ensure that the bay area regional water system is operated in compliance with the California Safe Drinking Water Act and the guidelines established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for the purposes of administering the comparable provisions of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Nothing in this division changes the governance, control, or ownership of the bay area regional water system.
