What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if approved by the Public Service Commission, a water public utility may provide financial assistance, defined as a grant, loan, or a combination thereof, to the owner of property to which water utility service is provided (water customer) for the purpose of assisting the water customer in replacing customer-side water service lines containing lead if 1) the city, town, or village has enacted an ordinance permitting the water public utility to do so and requiring water customers to replace any customer-side water service lines containing lead, and 2) the utility-side water service line and the water main pipe that are connected to the customer-side water service line do not contain lead or the lead-containing portion of that line or pipe is replaced at the same time as the customer-side water service line is replaced.
This bill specifies that “financial assistance” under this program is funded from utility rates. Also under the bill, a utility may, without PSC approval, administer a municipal program to assist water customers in complying with a city, village, or town ordinance requiring the replacement of customer-side water service lines containing lead and to provide municipal grants or loans to water customers for that purpose, provided the utility does not give financial assistance to water customers under the program.
