[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Nassau
8-10-82 as L.L. No. 2-1982. Sections 115-6, 115-9 and 115-11
amended at time of adoption of Code; see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I.
Other amendments noted where applicable.]
The Board of Trustees desires to establish a procedure for the fixing
of water rates or rents and service charges; for the collection of said rates
or rents and charges; for the adoption of rules and regulations governing
the use of water and the water system; and providing penalties for violation
of such rules and regulations.
Water shall be furnished by the Village of Nassau at such rates as may
be established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees of
the village and shall be billed semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each
year.
All water bills shall be due and payable on presentation. If not paid
within thirty (30) days of presentation, a penalty of ten percent (10%) shall
be added to said bill.
All water bills remaining unpaid sixty (60) days after presentation
will result in the discontinuance of the water service following written notice.
Such water service shall not be restored until the bill, all penalties and
service and administration charges shall have been paid in full.[1]
A charge will be made for the turning on of water service and for the
shutting off of water service. Such charges will not apply to an emergency
situation and shall be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
Water rates to consumers outside of the corporate limits of the Village
of Nassau shall be at rates separately established by resolution of the Board
of Trustees of the village and may be at rates which are greater than the
water rates within the village corporate limits. In addition, water bills
for nonvillage consumers may include such sums as are necessary to pay the
cost of any repairs and capital improvements to the water mains located outside
of the village limits which furnish water to the nonvillage consumers.
The consumer shall be responsible for any damage, whatever the cause,
to or by water lines or equipment within the curb box of the serviced premises,
such damages to be computed by the Village of Nassau on a time and material
basis. The consumer will pay such charges on receipt of the village's
invoice.
A.
The charge for tapping a water main within the boundaries
of the Village of Nassau, for a new service for residential use or for commercial
use (from the main to the curb box) or where it is necessary to remove state
highway pavement (Route 203 and Route 20), shall be as set by resolution of
the Board of Trustees. These charges shall be paid in advance. Charges are
based on a maximum of a single three-fourths-inch connection for residential
and one (1) inch for commercial. Oversized pipe or special specifications
will require additional charges for labor and materials.
B.
The charge for filling an aboveground swimming pool of
two hundred (200) gallons' or more capacity and the charge for filling
an in-ground swimming pool will be as set by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
A charge will be payable for each and every filling or refilling of a pool.
The rules and regulations governing the water system, last revised on
September 1, 1964, are hereby adopted and shall continue in effect until amended
or modified by a resolution of the Board of Trustees.[1]
