Meters Are Basis For New Hoosick Falls Water Billing

By

Public Hearing Tuesday
by Bea Peterson
On Tuesday, January 10, the Village of Hoosick Falls will hold a Public Hearing at 6 pm on the new proposed water billing structure. The hearing will take place before the regular Board meeting. One key feature in the proposed structure is that there will be no minimum usage fees. According to the proposal available for review at the Village Clerk’s office, Village and Town residents’ meters will be read and bills will be issued three times a year. Water and Sewer Bonds will be a separate charge from usage charges. The tentative structure states Village and Town residents will pay $159.26 for the Water Bond and $163.87 for the Sewer Bond, divided over three payments, plus a per one thousand gallon water rate. Town Residents will be billed two percent more than Village residents for water and sewer and 1.5 percent more if they only use water.
Village and Town Businesses will be charged $317.52 for water and $327.74 for Sewer, twice the rate as residences. Businesses will be billed twice per year. Water usage rates will be the same as for Village and Town residents.

Hoosick Falls On TV

On ABC, Channel 10, Sunday nights, just before 9, for the merest of seconds the words HOOSICK FALLS, with a background of film strips, fill the television screen. It’s a kick! The person who probably gets the biggest kick out of it is George Verschoor. He is the producer of Extreme Makeover Home Edition and his company is Hoosick Falls Productions. Thus, at the end of each Extreme Makeover show, there it is – Hoosick Falls, big as life on the TV screen. He said he often is asked what Hoosick Falls means and where are the falls.
