New York S06841 amends the public authorities law to adjust the water board's authority over fees and charges for water and sewerage services.

New York S06841 amends the public authorities law to modify the water board's authority over fees, rates, rents, and other service charges for water and sewerage services. The bill specifies that these charges must be based on the actual amount of water consumed or wastewater discharged, without any offset. It also sets a minimum challenge period of six years for customers to dispute these charges, with a longer period of ten years for not-for-profit institutions. The changes are designed to ensure the water and sewerage systems are self-sustaining.
