NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL AND SMALL BUSINESS WATER CUSTOMERS
Moratorium on Water Service Termination, Moratorium on Water Re-levy, and Opportunity for Deferred Payment Agreements
On May 11, 2021 Governor Cuomo signed into law amendments to the Public Service Law that prevent municipalities and public utilities from terminating water service provided to residents and small businesses for non-payment during the COVID-19 state of emergency. Additionally, the amendments prevent municipalities from re-levying previously accrued water charges on or after May 11, 2021 until either the end of the COVID-19 state of emergency or December 31, 2021, whichever is earlier.
All water suppliers must notify residential and small business customers of the protections afforded under the law.
Please be advised that service termination and re-levying past due water charges is prohibited for an additional 180 days after either the COVID-19 state of emergency expires or December 31, 2021, whichever is earlier, for those residential and small business customers who have experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 state of emergency.
