[Added 11-24-2003; amended 12-8-2003]
The owner of all premises using the City of
Peekskill sewer system or any part thereof shall be required to pay
sewer rents for the payment of the costs of operation, maintenance
and repairs of the City of Peekskill sewer system.
The sewer system for which the sewer rents are
established and imposed is the entire sewer system within the City
of Peekskill as defined in § 451 of the General Municipal
Law as it does now or as it may from time to time exist.
[Amended 2-27-2017 by L.L. No. 1-2017]
All sewer rent rates, charges, fees and penalties, shall be
established by the Common Council by resolution, shall be based upon
the consumption of water on the premises connected with and served
by the sewer system and shall be set forth in the Consolidated Fee
Schedule maintained by the office of the City Clerk.
Sewer rents shall be payable quarterly and shall
cover a three-month period.
Sewer rent bills can be obtained at the Office
of the City Comptroller after the first five days following each period.
The City Comptroller may send out bills as an accommodation to the
consumer, but delivery of such bills to the proper party is not guaranteed.
If the consumer does not receive a bill on or before the fifth day
following the period, he or she should call the Office of the Comptroller
of the City of Peekskill.
Sewer rent bills shall be issued quarterly on
a rotating basis.
All bills for sewer rents are due and payable
at the Office of the City Comptroller on the first day of the month
following the quarter for which sewer rents are assessed. All amounts
due for sewer rents will be received without penalty during the first
month following the quarter charged. After the first month following
the quarter charged, a penalty at a rate of 7 1/2% during the
second month and 1 1/2% per month during each additional month
or part thereof that the bill remains unpaid will be added to the
bill, In accordance with the provisions of the General City Law, all
bills unpaid by December 31, which are due for that calendar year,
shall be sent to the City Comptroller for collection. In accordance
with General Municipal Law § 452 sewer rents shall constitute
a lien upon the real property served by the sewer system. The lien
shall be prior and superior to every other lien or claim except the
lien of an existing tax, assessment or other lawful charge imposed
by or for the state or a political subdivision or district thereof.
Delinquent accounts, including sewer rents and penalties shall be
collected in a manner provided in General Municipal Law § 452(4).
All revenues derived from sewer rents, including
penalties, shall be credited by the Comptroller to a special fund
to be known as the "Sewer Rent Fund." Monies in such fund shall be
used in accordance with § 453 of the General Municipal Law.
