Improves protection of certain potential inter-municipal water supplies located in impoundments in the course of a stream.

New York S08025 amends the environmental conservation law to enhance the protection of potential inter-municipal water supplies located in impoundments in the course of a stream. It classifies these supplies as AA, ensuring they receive the highest level of water quality protection. The bill also mandates that a new permit or permit modification must be obtained from the department prior to any transfer or change of ownership of a water withdrawal system. These permit requirements apply to potential inter-municipal water supplies located in impoundments in the course of a stream.
