Important Information for Landlords and Tenants Using Private Wells for Drinking Water
A new law (AB 2454) was passed on September 1, 2024. This law says that if there is a free well water testing program in the area where a rental property is located, landlords must take part in it.
Valley Water Collaborative offers a free well water testing program in these areas: Yolo, Eastern San Joaquin, Delta-Mendota, Modesto, Turlock, Merced, Madera.
If a landlord owns a rental property in any of these areas, they must:
- Allow the free program to test the well water on the property.
- Give the test results to tenants within 10 days of receiving them.
- Let tenants get free drinking water from the program if they qualify.
Tenants need acknowledgement from their landlord to join the program. However, the new law does not allow landlords to refuse program admission. Landlords also cannot charge extra fees, increase rent, or add costs because of these rules.
