 6 of, or services furnished, rendered, or made available by the sewerage
 7 system, water system, or both, as the case may be, owned by the water
 8 board pursuant to this title in such amount at least sufficient at all
 9 times so as to receive revenues which, together with other revenues
 10 available to the board, if any, shall be at least sufficient at all
 11 times so that such system or systems shall be placed on a self-sustain-
 12 ing basis in accordance with section one thousand forty-five-j of this
 13 title; provided, however, that the water board shall base such charges

 16 board shall not establish a limit of less than [four] six years commenc-
 17 ing from the date of the bill for services to challenge any fee, rate,

 19 the water and/or sewerage systems; any such challenge shall specifically
 20 set forth the basis for such claim; and provided further that, with
 21 respect to not-for-profit institutions, the challenge period shall be
 22 ten years, which shall apply to all not-for-profit institutions who are
 23 determined to have incurred such a bill for services prior to the effec-
 24 tive date of this statute;
 25 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
