CRIAC Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025

This bill clarifies that property owners and occupants in Washington, D.C. must pay an impervious area charge assessed by DC Water. It specifies that DC Water can charge based on paved surfaces (like roofs, driveways, and patios) that prevent rainwater absorption, replacing prior billing methods. Failure to pay creates a property lien enforceable like other utility debts. The bill retroactively applies to March 25, 2009, and clarifies existing authority without creating new charges.
