An act relating to authorizing municipalities to regulate the surface water use of public waters used as drinking water supplies

This bill would allow towns and cities to create rules about how people use surface water if that water is part of their public drinking water system and the town owns all the land around it. These local rules would take precedence over state rules if there was a disagreement, but would not apply to large lakes or ponds that cross state lines. This change would take effect as soon as the bill is passed.
