[Adopted 4-27-1998 by L.L. No. 3-1998]
This article shall be known and cited as Town
of Wappinger Local Law No. 3 of 1998, entitled "Assessment of a Ten-Percent
Late Penalty on Water and Sewer Charges," and formalizes the Town's
practice of imposing late penalties for unpaid or untimely paid sewer
and water charges in accordance with Town Law § 198(3)(d)
and General Municipal Law § 452(5)(d) in order to more efficiently
bill the residents of the Town of Wappinger for such public utilities.

practice, the Town Board directs that additional notice of the adoption
of this article be provided as follows:
A. Within 30 days after the adoption of this article,
the Town's Water and Sewer Billing Department is hereby directed to
send an abstract of this article to all sewer and water customers
and/or taxpayers within any sewer or water districts or improvements
in the Town of Wappinger.
B. The Attorney to the Town is hereby directed to send
a copy of this article to all title insurance companies and/or abstract
companies listed in the most recent edition of the Yellow Pages in
