[Adopted 4-28-2010 by L.L. No. 3-2009]
The Village Board has determined that, in light of the inability
to levy unpaid water accounts upon real property located beyond the
Village municipal boundaries, the ability to require security deposits
for delinquent accounts will reduce the potential for loss of revenue
and will encourage prompt remittance of water rents.
[Amended 9-8-2015 by L.L.
No. 4-2015]
This article shall apply to any residential or commercial water
customer of the Village of Harriman located outside the municipal
boundary or which is wholly exempt from Village tax levy and that
has an amount owed to the Village for a period of 89 days measured
from the invoice billing date.
[Amended 9-8-2015 by L.L.
No. 4-2015]
Any water service customer who is subject to this article shall
be required as a condition of further service to remit all unpaid
balances and a security deposit equal to the highest periodic bill
during the preceding eight billing periods.
[Amended 9-8-2015 by L.L.
No. 4-2015]
A.
The Village of Harriman will not earn interest on the deposit and,
therefore, will not pay interest on the deposit.
B.
If the customer is not delinquent in the payment of any bill for
a two-year period and requests a return of the deposit, the Village
of Harriman may return such deposit.
C.
For a nonresidential customer, the Village may retain the security
deposit beyond the time permitted for the return of the deposit where
the customer does not show that it is creditworthy.
