PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS A CODE VIOLATION
TO ACCUMULATE TRASH AND GARBAGE, OLD APPLIANCES, AND OTHER ITEMS AROUND YOUR
RESIDENCE
The current water meters are over 25
years old. Due to this, most or our meters are not reading
accurately. If your quarterly meter reading ends in zeros, then your
readings are estimated.
In our most recent annual budget that
our board passed on April 30, 2018, the board anticipated a $50,000+ loss in
revenue for water services due to the accuracy of the new meters and expected
savings to our residents.
In addition, we researched and passed
new water rates that went into effect on June 1, 2018, which should also
reflect transparency in billing, resident accountability for usage, and a
savings for our residents.
The new meters will read accurately
within one thousandth of a gallon, which will make it almost impossible for
residents to be overcharged. In addition, the new meters will detect
when a resident may have a leak of some kind which will in affect draw more
water than the resident usually uses and we can then alert them to this before
there is a problem.
Although our residents are paying a
portion of the meter cost and the install cost, the village is picking up the
majority of the cost for equipment, install, software and other anticipated and
unanticipated costs. This is an accepted municipal practice. We have set up
easy plans to pay – monthly, quarterly, etc.
The payment time runs through April
2019.
All meters are the same model, will be
clamped for security and anti-tampering. All meters will be
installed by the same company for uniformity. That company is East National
Water.
Flooding in the village had nothing to
do with the municipal water service and affected most of the residents here on
the flat of Fultonville. Property values are now on the upswing
here. The village has worked with FEMA ARMY CORPS of ENGINEERS to build Dry
Dock Creek Gate that closes when the water levels rise to a certain level on the
river. In addition, we work with the canal services and county emergency
management services to make sure that we stay on top of weather conditions and
anticipate the actions that need to be taken to do our best to prevent a
reoccurrence.
Also, FEMA recently remapped the flood
zones, and for now, most of us are required to purchase federal flood
insurance. We are hopeful that this will be revised in the future if we stay on
top of weather conditions.
