Bill > S06846

This bill amends the public service law to clarify how water-works corporations (utility companies that provide water services) must share non-billing related information with residents of cooperatives, condominiums, or multi-family dwellings that use a master meter for water distribution. The bill requires these water-works corporations to identify all such multi-unit residential properties in their service territory and provide written notices about water service updates, water quality notices, and other essential information to the master meter customer. The master meter customer is then responsible for distributing these notices to all residents. Additionally, the bill mandates that these residential properties must allow residents to provide contact information and specify their preferred method of receiving such non-billing related communications. This legislation aims to improve communication and ensure that all residents in multi-unit dwellings have access to important water service information, even if they are not directly billed by the water-works corporation.
