The America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA), Section 2010(a), requires EPA promulgate a regulation that authorizes State primary enforcement authorities (primacy agencies) to mandate an assessment of restructuring options for a public water system (PWS) that frequently violates health-based standards, is unwilling or unable to take feasible corrective actions to return to compliance, or that has unsuccessfully attempted feasible and affordable actions to return to compliance, and for which restructuring is both feasible and expected to result in greater compliance. The mandatory assessment requirements must be tailored to the water system's size, type, and other factors, and the assessment should not be overly burdensome on the assessed system. A PWS that completes a mandatory assessment is eligible for DWSRF funding to implement the restructuring activities identified in the assessment. The rulemaking will include provisions regarding enforcement relief for a noncompliant PWS that implements a state-approved restructuring plan, or liability protection for a 'non-responsible' PWS that, based on a completed, primacy-agency approved restructuring assessment and restructuring plan, consolidates with, or acquires ownership of, an assessed PWS.
