The CRIAC Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends 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 to clarify the assessment of an impervious area charge by the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority. The bill specifies that property owners or occupants in the District are required to pay this charge, which is based on the amount of impervious surface on their property that affects water runoff and absorption. The new language added to the law includes a detailed definition of impervious surfaces and outlines the billing methodology that considers both water consumption and service.

Additionally, the bill repeals a subsection of the Public Works Act and introduces a new subsection that establishes the obligation of property owners to pay the impervious area charge, with provisions for enforcing liens on properties for non-payment. It also allows property owners or occupants to contest the charge through established procedures. The act is set to apply retroactively from March 25, 2009, and will remain in effect for 225 days after its approval.
