Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to providing Long Island residents with water usage information
Purpose
To ensure water customers are provided with understandable information on their water usage.
Summary of provisions
The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a new section 15-1530.
Justification
This bill will ensure that everyone on Long Island paying for water consumption is provided with plain-language information on the amount of water consumed and a comparison of the previous year's usage.
Usage information currently provided to customers is measured in cubic feet, which is meaningless to most customers. This legislation would require the information to be provided in gallons, which is something almost everyone can understand.
It is the goal of this legislation to increase awareness of water consumption by providing understandable information to assist customers who wish to take steps toward conserving one of our earth's most precious natural resources.
The legislation is both a consumer measure, as well as an environmental one.
