Contact sewer/water company when filling pool? (taxes, bill)

[rocafeller05]

In other states you can call the sewer company and tell them you are filling your swimming pool. The reason is so the sewer bill will not be proportional to your water usage since you are not using more water but rather filling a pool. Make sense? lol.

Anyways do LI'ers do this?

In my part of nassau we are taxed as a sewer district in our general taxes therefore we don't "pay" for it on its' own bill.

In suffolk we actually get a sewer tax bill for $33.00 every 3 months.

lubby, you're in the Southwest Sewer District, that's why you're getting that bill.
That was voted in in 1969, took a while to complete, was initially voluntary and by the mid to late 80s everyone had to be hooked up. But taxes were paid all along for the bond issue

Be sure to notify your Town - you're being taxed on the inground pool!
In some Towns you might even need a permit...
