The sponsor's argument

Why Leroy Comrie says this is needed

Residents who live in certain condominiums, cooperatives or multi-family residences are not afforded the same access to critical information on their water that other users are. These residents receive their water through a master meter and are not considered customers by the water- works corporations. As a result, they do not directly receive any notifications regarding water quality or service interruptions. In 2021, the legislature passed a law that empowers the Public Service Commission to require water companies to provide non-billing related information. There has been different interpretations of the responsi- bility of the water companies in providing such information. This bill seeks to clarify how water companies make available non-billing informa- tion to residents of cooperatives, condominiums or multi-family dwell- ings including identifying all residents and providing written notice directly to them.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
