New York Trial Court Supports Universal Metering
In a case of interest but without wide precedential effects, a New York trial court has upheld consumption‐based water rates set by the New York City Water Board. Decisions of trial courts generally have impact only within the limited jurisdiction of the court issuing the decision. Therefore, this decision issued by a New York State Supreme Court‐‐a trial court, not an appellate court‐‐is reported only as a matter of general interest. A 1984 state law established the New York City Water Board, which had power to set water and sewer rates. The board mandated a universal metering program to promote rate equity and water conservation. The Rent Stabilization Association, an organization of 25,000 owners of rent‐stabilized apartment buildings in the city, challenged the program, claiming it created undue monetary hardship.
