The act requires that the Commission also include one member knowledgeable of publicly-owned treatment works.
The act also requires that all new members shall have demonstrated an interest and knowledge about water quality and shall be qualified to provide, assess and evaluate relevant information about water quality, financial requirements and the effects of standards and rules.
