Whenever any water meter bills shall remain unpaid for the space
of 60 days after the same shall have become due and payable, the Village
Clerk shall, at the expiration of said 60 days, report all such cases
of nonpayment to the Board of Trustees.
When the supply of water to any premises or any part thereof
is turned off at the direction of the Mayor, no person shall reconnect
the water service without the written permission of the Mayor.
Whenever water has been turned off by the Water Department pursuant
to this article for nonpayment of water meter bills, no person shall
turn the same on again unless authorized by such Mayor, and any person
so turning on such water without such permission shall be guilty of
misdemeanor and subject to a fine not to exceed $500.
The Mayor, in behalf of the Village of Fultonville, is empowered
and directed to abate and terminate any and all unauthorized use of
Village water facilities and services in accordance with the terms
and provisions of this article.
Any tap-in or connection with a Village water line which has
not been made pursuant to or in accordance with a resolution or ordinance
of Board of Trustees of the Village of Fultonville is hereby declared
by this Board of Trustees to be an unauthorized tap-in and connection,
constituting an unauthorized use.
The Code Enforcement Officer is empowered and directed to forthwith
serve written notice, either by personal service or certified mail,
upon each and every person, firm or corporation found by the Village
Clerk to be an unauthorized user, directing the unauthorized user
to disconnect, on or before the expiration of 60 days from the service
of said notice, any and all water lines which, directly or indirectly,
connect with a Village line.
This resolution is not intended to preclude any unauthorized
user served with said written notice from applying to the Board of
Trustees for its permission, approval or consent to the use of Village
water; provided, however, that any such application is made within
30 days from the date of service of said written notice.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall tap on to any portion
of the waterline or water system of the Village of Fultonville without
having first received proper authorization by the Mayor therefor shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine not to exceed $500.
Any authorization for the use of water from hydrants or otherwise
on a temporary basis shall be in writing, signed by the Mayor. The
term of validity of such license shall not extend beyond a period
of one month from the date of execution.
