Bill > A08255

This bill amends the county law to provide a streamlined process for property owners to request exclusion from sewer districts when they are not receiving sewage services. Specifically, the bill allows property owners within a sewer district to request removal from the district if their parcel does not receive sewage services, and mandates that such requests must be granted without requiring approval from the state department of health or following the traditional procedure outlined in section 256 of the county law. The bill clarifies that while a property may be removed from the sewer district, the owner remains liable for any charges that accrued prior to the exclusion. Additionally, if a public or private sewer system begins providing services to a previously excluded parcel, that property will automatically be considered part of the sewer district again, and services will be reinstated. This amendment provides property owners with more flexibility in managing their participation in sewer districts based on the actual services they receive.
