The CRIAC Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the District of Columbia Public Works Act of 1954 and the Water and Sewer Authority Establishment and Department of Public Works Reorganization Act of 1996. The bill clarifies that property owners or occupants in the District are required to pay an impervious area charge assessed by the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water). Specifically, it introduces a new subsection in the Public Works Act that mandates payment of this charge and establishes a billing methodology based on the amount of impervious surface on a property, which affects water runoff.

Additionally, the bill repeals a subsection in the Public Works Act and modifies existing language to ensure that the impervious area charge is clearly defined as the obligation of the property owner. It also outlines the consequences of non-payment, including the placement of a lien on the property without further notice. The act is set to apply retroactively from March 25, 2009, and will take effect upon approval by the Mayor, with a temporary expiration after 225 days.
