“Today in the Assembly, we finally put North Shore ratepayers on the path to public water. It’s going to provide meaningful financial relief. Because this measure already passed the Senate, it’s heading to the governor’s desk. Since the administration released a report earlier this year endorsing the viability of a municipal takeover of New York American Water’s operations, I have every reason to believe this will be swiftly signed into law. Today’s vote reflects a bipartisan commitment to safe, reliable and affordable drinking water.”
