Requiring first-draw samples when testing for lead in water.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring first-draw samples when testing for lead in water

The proposed bill would require that any testing of water from a fixture or other source for lead that is required by law includes a first-draw sample from such source. If a water lead action level is established by federal, state, or local law or rule that requires new sampling requirements, this legislation would allow the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to adopt new sampling requirements by rule.
