 the supervision of the permitted wells, to conduct  regular  maintenance
 of such wells, and shall not authorize such city or agency to pump water
 therefrom  unless  the  city  having a population of one million or more
 experiences a loss of necessary  drinking  water  which  constitutes  an
 emergency,  as  determined  jointly  by  the commissioners of health and
 environmental conservation.
   ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
