NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL WATER CUSTOMERS

Moratorium on Residential Water Service Termination

On June 17, 2020, Governor Cuomo signed into law amendments to the Public Service Law that prevents municipalities and public utilities from terminating water service to residential customers for non-payment of an overdue charge during the COVID-19 state of emergency.

Additionally, all water suppliers must notify residential customers of the protections afforded under the law.

Please be advised that service termination is prohibited for an additional 180 days after the COVID-19 state of emergency expires for those residential customers who have experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 state of emergency.

If you are a resident who has experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 state of emergency and would like to request relief from service termination during the 180 days after the COVID-19 state of emergency expires, you must contact The Village Office by phone, at 315-826-3141 and/or email to vpoland@ntcnet.com

Please be further advised that the law does not eliminate a customer’s obligation to pay accrued charges. However, customers who have experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 state of emergency must be provided with the opportunity to enter into a deferred payment agreement without the imposition of deposits, late fees, or penalties.

If you are a resident who has experienced such a change in financial circumstances and wish to enter into a deferred payment agreement to address any outstanding or accrued payments, you must contact the Village Office by phone, at 315-826-3141 and/or email to vpoland@ntcnet.com

If you live on South Main Street in the village of Poland, and you reside in the Town of Newport (which is from the Community Baptist Church of Poland towards Newport) and you have a dog, your dog needs to have a current license. If you need a current license for your dog(s), please stop down to the Newport Town Barn and we can resolve it. It is a New York State law that all dogs have a current rabies vaccination, and current dog license.

I have met the Village Of Poland Animal Control Officer, Marc Costantine, and he is doing a great job. I am working with him to get licenses for all the village's dogs.

For my office hours, please call 845-8340 as they change from Summer to Winter.
