New York City Water Charges
-
The City’s Water and Wastewater Rate
Schedule for its 2000-2001 fiscal year imposed a surcharge of "100
percent of either the last annual un-metered water charge or the
last annualized meter charge when a customer fails to install a
meter or reading devise" by July 1, 2000. The surcharge was to "be
applied from July 1, 2000 until the date of installation". The
Supreme Court, New York County, held that the surcharge was not
unconstitutional. The Court did not find that the imposition of a
100% surcharge "shocks the judicial conscience". Matter of 77
Realty LLC v. New York City Water Board was reported in the New
York Law Journal on February 25, 2004.
