Abandonment of the Haverstraw Desalinization Plant
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering whether or not to authorize United Water New York to abandon its proposed desalinization plant in Haverstraw, NY.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 89-b
Subject:
Abandonment of the Haverstraw desalinization plant.
Purpose:
To determine if abandoning the desalinization plant is in the public interest.
Substance of proposed rule:
In 2006, the Public Service Commission (Commission) ordered United Water New York, Inc. (UWNY) to identify and pursue a new long-term water supply source to be in service by 2015, in order to address projected increases in demand. Since that time, demand has not matched expectations and public opposition to UWNY’s project, a desalinization plant in Haverstraw NY, has grown. The Commission is now considering whether it is in the public interest to authorize UWNY to abandon the Haverstraw desalinization project.
