The DC Water and Sewer Authority Billing and Disconnection Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the oversight and regulation of the DC Water and Sewer Authority. The bill amends the Language Access Act of 2004 to include the DC Water and Sewer Authority as a covered entity with major public contact. It also requires the Authority to submit monthly reports to the Council, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Office of the Tenant Advocate regarding disconnections. Additionally, the bill clarifies the imposition of charges and penalties for late payments and modifies notice requirements for water service disconnections to ensure better communication with building occupants.

Key amendments include the addition of the DC Water and Sewer Authority to the Language Access Act, the establishment of a 10% late payment charge for bills unpaid after 30 days, and the requirement for the Authority to provide detailed monthly reports on disconnections and payment plans. The notice requirements for disconnections have also been updated to ensure that occupants receive timely and clear information in multiple languages. The act is set to take effect after approval by the Mayor and will expire after 225 days.
