Dear Residents:
Germantown is best described as a vibrant and secure community that is a great place to live, raise a family or retire. I believe volunteers are what make Germantown such a great place to live! Most every organization and taxing district of Germantown is based on volunteers. Without those volunteers, the Village on a whole would suffer. Thank you to all those who give their time! I look forward to the future and believe Germantown has many good things in store!
At the March Village Board meeting, the Board adopted Ordinance 2024-01, an Ordinance regarding adjustments to sewer charges for outside water usage. Attached is the application and section of the Ordinance explaining the rules. 1. The customer may use devices, specifically Water Deduct Meters, purchased and maintained by the customer, to measure the flow of water from outside taps from the months of April through September of each year in order to measure the amounts of water used from the public system for purposes such as, but not limited to, the filling of pools, landscape watering, or non-commercial agricultural irrigation. 2. Any such meter shall be of a design approved by the Village, shall be registered with the Village Clerk prior to use, and shall be used only by the user to whom it is registered and at the service location to which it is assigned. 3. It shall be the responsibility of the customer to present the meter to the Village at any time from the month of April through the month of October in order to request a reading and a calculation for the once per year sanitary sewer rate credit. 4. The customer shall present a photo of the devise as installed for an initial reading prior to use, in order that the Village Clerk may establish a baseline reading. 5. The customer may use devices, specifically Water Deduct Meters, purchased and maintained by the customer, to measure the flow of water from outside taps from the months of April through September. 6. Customer is to present a photo of meter in April and a final reading photo after October 1st. The Village Clerk shall then credit the user’s sewer account by subtracting the previous reading from the current reading, as taken from the meter, multiplying the difference by the current basic user charge, and then deducting 100 percent of that product from the next month’s billings.
