All water suppliers must notify residential and small business customers of the protections afforded under the law.

MORATORIUM ON WATER SERVICE TERMINATION, MORATORIUM ON WATER RELEVY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR DEFERRED PAYMENT AGREEMENTS
The moratorium on water shutoffs for non-payment during the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in June 2020, has been extended and expanded. The current moratorium, which amends Public Service Law § 89-b and 89-I, prohibits water works corporations and public water providers from disconnecting certain customers for nonpayment during the COVID-19 state of emergency.
The moratorium is now in effect until the COVID-19 state of emergency ends or December 31, 2021, whichever date is earlier. Thereafter, qualifying customers who have experienced a change in financial circumstances due to COVID-19 may be eligible for an additional 180 days of protection from shutoff for nonpayment.
In addition to residential customers, the moratorium now also covers qualifying small business customers as well as customers whose accounts serve residential premise (e.g. landlords). The moratorium also temporarily prohibits municipalities from placing, selling or enforcing a lien on a customer’s real property for unpaid water rents.
The moratorium does not relieve a customer of their obligation to pay for service. You are still responsible for your water bill during and after the moratorium period.
The Village of Champlain offers Deferred Payment Agreements with no required down payment, penalties or late fees for residential or small business customers that have experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency. The Deferred Payment Agreement is valid for 180 days from the end of the State of Emergency or 180 days from December 31, 2021, whichever date is earlier.
Self-certification of COVID -19 Hardship is required in order to enter into a Deferred Payment Agreement. Self-Certification forms can be obtained at www.vchamplain.com or at the Village Office. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Village Office at 518-298-4152.
