When a public water system supplier violates Utah's Safe Drinking Water Act in a way that poses a serious public health risk, and the supplier is unwilling or unable to fix the problem, this bill would allow a court to appoint a receiver—an outside individual who takes over management of the water system to carry out required corrective actions. If a court finds that divestiture is reasonably necessary to ensure long-term compliance, the bill would also allow the court to order the violating supplier to sell off ownership of the system entirely. In either case, the bill would require the director of the Division of Drinking Water to report the status of any such civil action to the relevant legislative committee, whether the Legislature is in session or not.
