Water and Sewer Information

Water and Sewer Information

Water meters are read twice per year (April & October) with the bills due in June and December. If your meter is not accessible for a reading, a self- addressed card will be left for you to complete and mail back the Village Office.  Please note unpaid June bills will be added to the December bill along with a 10% penalty.  If the bill is not paid by the following March 31st, it will be re-levied on your Village tax bill for June.  Please contact the Village office at 845-457-9661 immediately if you have any questions.

If you did not receive your bill, call the office immediately. Failure to receive your bill does not excuse from timely payment of the bill. It is the property owners responsibility to be aware of the meter billing schedule and ensure timely payment in order to avoid penalties.

The water supply to any premises shall not be turned off or turned on (except in case of emergency) at the curb except by an authorized employee of the Village of Montgomery DPW. When the water is turned off in case of emergency, the Village Office DPW must be notified within twenty-four hours.
