The Water Facilities Bill
New bill wants insurance for water facilities
Produced Water Facility Insurance
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would require owners of produced water facilities to carry insurance, so any spills or accidents would be paid for by the insurer.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, the rule could protect taxpayers from paying cleanup costs, but it may add expenses for oil and gas operators, possibly raising prices for consumers.
