[HISTORY: Adopted Liberty Village Board 5-19-1975 as L.L. No.
2-1975. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Village of Liberty, pursuant to Article
14-F of the General Municipal Law, hereby establishes a sewer rental
for all users of the sewer system.

Editor’s Note: Former § 67-2, User charge system,
as amended, was repealed 5-14-2014 by L.L. No. 2-2014. This local
law also repealed Attachment I, Sewer Rent Law, which was included
as an attachment to this chapter.
Large customers, as hereinafter defined, shall
be charged by adding the total of Formula One to Formula Two. Before
large customers are connected to the sewer system, they may be required
to execute an appropriate agreement with the Village of Liberty.
Sewer rents shall be billed and paid on a quarterly
basis. For those users whose water meter is read on a monthly basis,
sewer rents will be billed and paid monthly.
Unpaid sewer rents shall constitute a lien against
the property which benefited by the use of the sewer system. Upon
certification by the Village Clerk, the Village Board, by resolution,
shall add all unpaid sewer rents billed before March 1 and unpaid
by May 1 to the real property tax of the owner of the property whose
property benefited by the use of the sewer system.
All users of the sewer system not within the
boundaries of the Village of Liberty who have not paid the sewer rental
for six months may be disconnected from the sewer system by proper
resolution of and notice from the Board of Trustees.
[Amended 5-14-2014 by L.L. No. 2-2014]
The Board of Trustees may set, modify or change
the sewer rental rates, service charges and penalties for nontimely
payment by resolution.
