VILLAGE TIDBITS
***ANY DELINQUENT QUARTERLY SEWER AND/OR WATER BILLS, INCLUDING ARREARS AND PENALTIES, MUST BE PAID IN FULL BY APRIL 2, 2010. If not paid by April 2nd, the bill will be turned over to the County and included in 2009/2010 Village Taxes.***
Please be aware that online bill paying services very often mail your water and sewer payments in envelopes that are NOT postmarked. The Village recognizes a US postmark as date of delivery; if no postmark appears or is illegible the payment is deemed to have been made on the date of delivery to the Village Office. Contact your banking institution to insure timeliness of your payments. To avoid penalties, you may wish to schedule your payment a few days early.
WATER BILLS ARE SENT OUT QUARTERLY
January, April, July, and October 1st – Payable by the 20th.
SEWER BILLS ARE SENT OUT QUARTERLY

WATER AND SEWER Bills are sent to the property owner of record, including any final readings. There is a $15.00 charge for water readings requested at times other than the regular quarterly billing times. A charge of $30.00 is added if the water is turned off for ANY reason. These charges are in addition to any water charge due, including penalty, if applicable.

THE VILLAGE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NON-DELIVERY OF THE MAIL!! If you do not receive a bill please contact the Village Office and we will send out another.
THE VILLAGE OFFICE has installed a Drop Box to better serve the Residents of Phelps. Payments received on the 20th of the month will need to be at the Office or in the box by 4:30 p.m., the close of business, to avoid the 10% penalty.
IT IS AGAINST THE LAW to snow blow, snow plow or shovel the snow from your property or driveway into the public street. ALSO, no owner or occupant of a building or structure adjacent to a street shall allow snow, water, or ice to accumulate on such building or structure so that it may fall on any street or sidewalk. Please take note of these requirements during this winter season. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
Reminder… There is NO PARKING on Village Streets from 12 midnight to 6 am ALL days from November 1 to March 31 of each year. This allows the streets to be cleared by the Village DPW. Please cooperate with this request. VIOLATORS will be PROSECUTED.
THE VILLAGE MUNICIPAL CODE STATES that all sidewalks must be kept free and clear of snow and ice. This is the responsibility of the property owner or occupant. You are requested to keep the fire hydrants in your neighborhood clear of snow, for your safety and that of your neighbor should there be a fire.
FYI - the operation of snowmobiles on streets, highways, and public ways of the Village of Phelps is allowed only under certain rules and regulations in the Phelps Municipal Code. Please contact the Village Clerk at 548-3861 if you have any questions.
STAR: you may be entitled to a tax exemption. Contact the Town Assessors (548-2973) at the Town Hall for further information and any forms necessary to verify qualifications.
