TOWN WATER DEPARTMENT
Water bills are sent out every three months. If your property
has sanitary sewer service (not septic), your water bill will
also include a sewer processing fee of $25.00. This is a flat
rate that will be charged on each water bill. This charge
is to cover the cost of processing the sewage that is sent
to the filtration plants.
It is the policy of the Town of Lockport to re-levy any overdue
unpaid water/sewer balances to the following year's county/town
tax bill on October 20th.
The Town Water Department is currently in the process of upgrading
our meter reading system. This means that we will be replacing
many of the older style meters throughout the town. The result
of this new system will be an increase in productivity and
accuracy.
If your meter has not been upgraded, please call to schedule
an appointment (439.9529).
It will only take about 20 minutes for us to complete our
work. It is important that we upgrade all meters in the Town
for the new system to work most efficiently.
TOWN SEWER DEPARTMENT
The Town Sewer Department is conducting sanitary sewer inspections
on all homes that have sewer service in the Town of Lockport.
The program is on a revolving five-year schedule. This means
that we will inspect each home every five years. Surprisingly,
people do re-arrange their plumbing so that groundwater runs
into the sewer system when they have drainage problems. The
purpose of these inspections is to eliminate all groundwater
from flowing into the sanitary sewer system. By eliminating
any extraneous flows, we will greatly reduce our sewer processing
costs.
The Town must submit a report on each sewer service to the
State to confirm that we are in compliance with this code.
