Collection of delinquent sewer rents may be enforced by the Village pursuant to § 452 of the General Municipal Law as heretofore enacted and hereafter amended. In addition thereto, in the event that any sewer rent is not paid within 27 days from the date due, the delinquent payment shall be assessed a late payment penalty of 5.0% of the amount due and owing. Such penalty shall accrue until such a time as the account becomes current. The Village Clerk or Treasurer may also cause a notice to be delivered or mailed to the owner addressed as provided in §
278-44 and to the occupant of the premises, addressed at the premises, stating the amount due and demanding payment thereof within a period of at least five days of the date of such notice and stating that, if such payment is not made, the water service or the sewer service, or both, shall be discontinued without further notice, and, at the expiration of such period as provided in such notice, the Chief Operator of the Village of Naples public sewer system or the duly designated employees or officers of the Village may enter on said premises and cause the water service or the sewer service, or both, to be disconnected and discontinued. A charge shall be made for discontinuing or reconnecting each of such services for nonpayment of sewer rents and such charges shall be billed and collected in the same manner as sewer rents. The Village Clerk/Treasurer shall annually assess against the individual parcel of land the amount of any such charges remaining unpaid on April 15 of each calendar year, and such charges shall be added to the tax roll and collected in the same manner and at the same time as the other taxes are assessed, levied and collected pursuant to statute.
All revenues derived from sewer rents, including interest and
penalties thereon, and charges shall be credited to a special fund
to be known as the "Sewer Fund." The monies in such fund shall be
used only for the purposes and in the manner specified by Article
14-F of the General Municipal Law.
