A 7990 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the criteria for financing certain lead service line and pipe replacements

This bill revises the criteria state agencies use for financing and approving projects to replace lead water service lines and pipes. It directs the Environmental Facilities Corporation and the Department of Health to consider factors like the cost burden on water systems, the incidence of childhood lead poisoning, and the water system's commitment to funding the full replacement, including both its own and the property owner's portions. These changes aim to guide how funds are allocated for removing lead pipes connecting water mains to buildings.
