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 multiple sections of the New York Public Authorities Law to include stormwater in the definition of sewage and expand the understanding of sewerage systems across various water and sewer authorities. Specifically, the bill defines "stormwater" as water flowing on the ground or other surfaces from rain or meltwater that is not absorbed by soil, and updates numerous sections of law to incorporate this definition. The changes mean that stormwater will now be considered part of sewage for regulatory purposes, which could impact how water authorities manage and treat water systems. By broadening the definition of sewage to include stormwater, the bill likely aims to provide a more comprehensive approach to water management, potentially helping authorities better address water runoff, flooding, and water treatment challenges. The modifications are made across multiple sections of the public authorities law, ensuring consistency in the definition and treatment of stormwater across different water and sewer authorities in New York State.
