Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to including stormwater in the definition of sewage for purposes of certain water, sewer, and water and sewer authorities
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Authorities Law to include stormwater in the definition of "sewage" for certain water, sewer, and water and sewer authorities. The bill defines "stormwater" as a flow of water occurring on the ground or other surface when rain or meltwater can no longer be absorbed by the soil or other surface. This change ensures that stormwater is treated as part of the sewage system managed by these authorities, rather than being treated separately.
