                                BILL NUMBER:S3481

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the county law, in relation to sewer district extensions in the
New York city watershed

PURPOSE:
This bill would provide for certain sewer district extensions
to preserve water quality in the New York City watershed.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section one of the bill provides for
sewer district extensions for a limited number of properties that are
under a judicial order for clean up for causing damage to the New
York City watershed water quality, including all properties within
the town of Yorktown contained within a perimeter commencing at the
intersection of Lake Road and Crow Hill Road, proceeding
northeasterly along Lake Road to its intersection with the New
Castle-Yorktown border, then proceeding southerly along the New
Castle-Yorktown border to the intersection of Crow Hill Road, then
northwesterly along Crow Hill Road to its intersection with Lake Hill
Road, the point of beginning; and all properties within the town of
New Castle contained within the perimeter commencing at the
intersection of Lake Hill Road and the New Castle-Yorktown border,
proceeding easterly along Lake Hill Road to the New Castle-Bedford

border, then proceeding southerly along the New Castle- Bedford
boarder to the New Castle-Mt. Kisco Border, then due easterly along a
straight easterly line from the intersection of the New
Castle-Bedford-Mt. Kisco border to Kisco Park Drive, then westerly
along Kisco Park Drive to Main Street, then southerly along Main Street
to Crow Hill Road, then westerly .along Crow Hill Road to the New
Castle-Yorktown border, then pines Bridge Road, then northerly along
the Yorktown-New Castle Border to the intersection with Lake Hill
Road, the point of beginning; and all properties within the town of
Bedford contained within a perimeter commencing at the intersection
of Lake Hill Road/Meeting House Road and the New Castle- Bedford
border, then proceeding easterly along Lake Hill/Meeting House Road
to Croton Kale Road, then westerly to Pine Bridges Road to the
intersection with the Bedford-New Castle border, then northwesterly
along the Bedford-New Castle border to the intersection with Lake
Hill Road/Meeting House Road, the point of beginning; and all
properties within the town of Chappaqua adjoining and along Random
Farms Drive and Random Farms Circle.

Section one of the legislation provides further that the complete
capital cost of any such extension of a sewer district shall be borne
exclusively by the county and not charged back to the owners of such
properties; provided, that such costs to be borne by the county shall
be limited to any amounts on account received from New York City for

purposes of preserving the quality of the waters of the New York City
watershed.

Section two of this bill provides for an immediate effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
Pursuant to a judicial order for clean up, a certain
limited number of properties that have been found to have septic
system failures would be granted the ability to correct such failure
by connecting to currently existing sewer districts which run through
their municipalities. In so doing, these properties, which
geologically are challenged to build an environmentally acceptable
septic system, would be able to comply with the judicial order to
stop polluting the New York City watershed by linking up to these
existing sewer districts. This limited number of properties are not
connected with the former County Diversion Plan.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
A.11702/S.8646 of 2007-2008.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The complete capital cost of any such extension
of a sewer district shall be borne exclusively by the county;
provided, that such costs to be borne by the county shall be limited
to any amounts on account received from New York City for purposes of
preserving the quality of the New York City watershed.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
