I am selling my house, what do I need to do to get a "Final Reading" and change the Billing information?

Please have your lawyer or realtor contact via email both the DPW Office Manager, dpwoffice@townoflenox.com and the Lenox Water Superintendent, bhorn@townoflenox.com 

(DUE TO COVID, WE WILL NOT BE DOING IN HOUSE READINGS, WE WILL JUST BE DOING DRIVE BY READINGS)

We ask you contact us at least 5 business days before the Closing of the property.  We will need to schedule a time to enter the property and physically read and inspect the water meter.  This gives us a chance to check the meter and make sure it is in good shape or see if it needs to be replaced.  

The DPW Office will calculate the water usage since the last billing and the seller will need to pay the amount at Closing.  There is also a $30 fee for the reading and clerical work involved with updating the billing information.  Water/Sewer Bills in Lenox go out twice a year (May and November).  

In the email request please include: 

1) A date and time for the property visit, with a contact phone # and name of who will be meeting the water department on site (NOT DURING COVID)

2) Address of the property

3) Sellers name

4) Buyers name

5) Lawyers info on both sides, with email addresses of each

6) New owner mailing address if different

PLEASE EMAIL ALL THIS INFORMATION IN 1 EMAIL, WE WOULD LIKE TO AVOID BACK AND FORTH EMAILS, 

SO PLEASE EMAIL US WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION WE REQUIRE

THANKS, BOB HORN 

TOWN OF LENOX WATER SUPERINTENDENT
