New York Laws
Title 3 - Erie County Water Authority
1065 - Control by Other Boards or Commissions.

§ 1065. Control by other boards or commissions. No certificate of
convenience and necessity, license, consent or other authorization shall
be required to be obtained by the authority or by a water-works
corporation from any board, commission or other agency of the state in
order that the authority may acquire, lease, own and operate, maintain,
improve, extend or enlarge any property or properties referred to in
this title, or that any water-works corporation may sell, transfer, or
lease its franchise, works or system, or any part thereof to the
authority, except that nothing in this section contained shall be
construed to deprive the state water power and control commission of any
jurisdiction which that commission may now or hereafter have pursuant to
the provisions of the conservation law (constituting chapter sixty-five
of the consolidated laws), or of any jurisdiction which the state
commissioner of health may now or hereafter have pursuant to the
provisions of article five of the public health law (constituting
chapter forty-five of the consolidated laws). Neither the state public
service commission nor any other board or commission of like character
shall, unless expressly authorized hereafter, have jurisdiction over the
authority in the management and control of its properties or operations
or any power over the regulation of the rates fixed or charges collected
by the authority.
