LONG ISLAND, NY — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that the state will launch a study into a public takeover of New York American Water, Long Island's largest privately owned water company.
The study will be led by Rory Lancman, the special council for ratepayer protection at the state Department of Public Service. New York American Water has faced mounting criticism from customers and politicians over drastically increased fees over the last few years.
