Clean Water Takes Center Stage In Cuomo's New York Budget Plan

摘要

New York would spend $2 billion over the next five years to improve its water infrastructure and go beyond federal requirements for testing drinking water for contaminants under a plan announced Jan. 17 by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). The plan contained in Cuomo's proposed budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year would require the testing of virtually all drinking water systems, regardless of size, and allow the state Department of Health to regulate emerging contaminants.
