Information on SB 998

Senate Bill 998, also known as the Water Shutoff Protection Act, is a California law that aims to protect residential water customers from having their water service disconnected due to nonpayment without proper notice and opportunities to address the issue. The law requires water providers to offer payment assistance programs, provide clear billing notices, and wait at least 60 days of nonpayment before shutting off service. It ensures that customers are informed of their rights and have access to alternative payment arrangements to avoid service interruptions.
