The CRIAC Clarification Emergency 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 bill also introduces a new subsection that outlines the methodology for calculating the charge and establishes that failure to pay will result in a lien on the property.

Additionally, the bill repeals a subsection of the Public Works Act and modifies existing language to include the impervious area charge in the billing methodology. It allows property owners or occupants to contest the charge through established procedures for water and sewer service disputes. The act is set to take effect following approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days as an emergency measure.
