SECTION 46-15.3-11
§ 46-15.3-11. Disbursements from the funds.
(a) Only suppliers which withdraw water from wells, reservoirs, springs, or other original sources of potable water shall be entitled to disbursements from the first of the two (2) mentioned funds created under § 46-15.3-10 administered by the water resources board. From amounts available from bond proceeds held by the water resources board, that board shall disburse to each supplier contributing to the fund a proportional amount based upon each supplier's pro rata withdrawal of water by volume from wells, reservoirs, springs, or other original sources of water averaged over the three (3) calendar years preceding disbursement as determined by the water resources board. Suppliers shall be required to expend this money as follows:
(2) Any remaining funds may be used for any eligible expenditures as defined in § 46-15.3-4.
(b) The city of Providence shall make expenditures from amounts available in the fund held by the city of Providence based on the same formula as in subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(2) above; provided, however, the city of Providence shall be exempt from participating in the use of an alternate deicing mixture within the Scituate watershed unless drinking water supply sodium levels exceed fifteen (15) ppm (parts per million) for three (3) consecutive years or seventeen (17) ppm (parts per million) for one year. The city of Providence will monitor sodium levels and report sodium testing results to the Rhode Island department of health and the public on a yearly basis. If drinking water supply sodium levels exceed fifteen (15) ppm for three (3) consecutive years or seventeen (17) ppm for one year, the city of Providence shall immediately participate in the use of an alternative deicing mixture within the Scituate watershed. In December of 2008, the city of Providence will provide a three (3) year report to the Rhode Island department of environmental management, the general assembly and the public. Every three (3) years, the city of Providence will submit a report to the general assembly on monitoring data for sodium levels within the Scituate watershed. This report will include monitoring data from the previous three (3) year period.
