The Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow has determined
that it is necessary to establish clear and concise regulations for
the proper administration of the water supply system of the Village
of Sleepy Hollow. This article is intended to adopt uniform policies
and procedures for the administration of that system.
These regulations supersede all previous rules, regulations
and laws for the governing and administration of the water supply
system of the Village.
The Village Board may from time to time adopt rates and fees
by resolution after public hearing.
[Amended 7-15-2003 by L.L. No. 8-2003; 1-22-2013 by L.L. No. 1-2013]
A. Water service will be terminated for nonpayment of water bills or for violation of these regulations. A service charge as set forth in the fee schedule included at the end of Chapter
200, Fees, will be imposed for termination of service. This service charge shall be added to the water bill.
B. Property owners may request that service be shut off. A fee as set forth in the fee schedule included at the end of Chapter
200, Fees, shall apply, unless the shutoff is to make repairs or maintain the Village water system. Where a property owner requests that service be shut off and it takes Water Department employees more than two hours to complete the shut-off process, the property owner shall be responsible to pay an additional fee. The applicable service charge(s) shall be added to the water bill.
[Amended 1-22-2013 by L.L. No. 1-2013]
When service has been terminated per §
411-16A, service will not be restored until all bills and penalties and service charges are paid in full. This includes an additional fee for service restoration as set forth in the fee schedule included at the end of Chapter
200, Fees.
During cases of drought, flood, or any general emergency, the
Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow may make such rules
and regulations pertaining to the use and consumption of water as
are in the public interest. Said rules and regulations shall be posted
in at least three public places in the Village, and after such posting
any violation of any such rules and regulations shall be punishable
by a fine not exceeding $50 for each separate offense.
