Bill Summary
This bill would authorize the Board of Public Utilities (board) to adopt rules and regulations that authorize a rate recovery mechanism to allow a wastewater utility to impose a wastewater system improvement charge for the costs of rehabilitating, improving, or replacing wastewater infrastructure. The board has already adopted regulations that allow water supply utilities to impose a distribution system improvement charge at N.J.A.C.14:9-10.1 et seq. This bill would require the adoption of similar regulations applicable to wastewater utilities. The adoption of regulations applicable to wastewater utilities would accelerate the rehabilitation, improvement, or replacement of deteriorating or failing wastewater infrastructure.

The adoption of these regulations for wastewater utilities is intended to accelerate the necessary upgrades to the state's wastewater infrastructure.
