What it does

This bill would require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to notify ratepayers whenever the City requests the base rental payment for the water system and the sewerage system from the New York City Water Board. The notice would include the amount of the requested base rental payment, the estimated impact of making the requested base rental payment on the property’s water and sewer rates over the next 3 fiscal years, and information about how to comment at an upcoming water rate hearing and how to submit a written comment to DEP.
