Basin Regulations; Water Code
Key claim: The Delaware River Basin Commission would require public water utilities to report how much water their largest customers use.
Abstract
(Proposed Rule · Delaware River Basin Commission) The Commission proposes to amend its Water Code and Comprehensive Plan to require water supply systems serving the public (purveyors) to report water use by their largest customers.
Why this matters
Large-customer water use data is a gap in basin-level water management; aggregating it at the utility level would give the DRBC visibility into where withdrawals concentrate without directly regulating end users. The practical effect is a reporting burden on public water utilities rather than a cap on use, but the data could inform future allocation or drought response decisions.
