AI Summary
- Public water systems in Georgia that supply customers connected to a county, municipality, or local authority's waste-water sewer system must furnish that political subdivision with individual customer water consumption data for each billing period.
- Upon notice from a county, municipality, or local authority that a customer has failed to timely pay waste-water sewer charges, the water supplier must immediately suspend water service to that customer.
- Water service to a suspended customer must remain cut off until the relevant political subdivision notifies the water supplier to resume service.
- Water suppliers are authorized to charge customers a reasonable fee for the cost of suspending or resuming water service.
- The bill preserves existing protections under Code Section 36-60-17 (governing utility service disconnection procedures) and does not override those provisions.
