Thanks to input from NYWEA, NewYork State Legislators have postponed action on a proposed  Assembly bill A11019. The bill would amend  Environmental Conservation Law to enact a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) act.

The bill was introduced by Assemblyman DiNapoli and co-sponsored by 25 others. The bill planned to ban SSOs in New York State and require that all of them be abated by December 31, 2005. As laudable as the goal was, in its’ current form it would have major impacts and would impose significant financial burden on communities across the state. The bill also did not account for current compliance efforts already underway in many communities. For these reasons NYWEA was opposed to the legislation as proposed.

Get more information on the bill and view our concerns about the bill.
