Just a reminder that there is a message on the July water bill every year stating that there will be a $100.00 administrative fee for any balances not paid by 4:00 p.m. on the third Friday of September. (It was extended one week this year due to the delay in mailing out the July water bills.)
This surcharge is for unpaid balances that are turned over to the Niagara County Tax Department every year on October 1st. This is not new. If you pull your past July water bills you will see the same message. This only happens once a year so you may have forgotten the message being on previous water bills.
Your water bill was due on 08/25/2021 without penalty.
On 08/26/2021 a 10% penalty was assessed (gross total with penalty) and that amount should be paid as soon as possible if you have not yet paid that balance.
If you do not pay by 4:00 on Friday September 24th there will be a $100.00 administrative fee on top of the 10% penalty.
Remember that you can now pay your water bill online at: www.pendletonny.us with a credit or debit card. We cannot take credit card payments over the phone. If you type in the link above, it will bring you to the Town of Pendleton website. On the Home page look to the left and you will see ONLINE PAYMENT PORTAL. Just click on the link, have your water bill in front of you and follow the prompts. There is a small convenience fee, just to let you know.
Please remember, NO PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED after 4:00 on Friday September 24th.
Any lock box payments received after 4:00 on Friday, September 24th will be credited to your October bill.
Please contact the Water Billing Department at 716-625-8833, ext. 111, if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Niagara County Issues Roadwork Update
Niagara County Public Works Commissioner Garret Meal today provided updates on two road construction projects in Niagara County – Bear Ridge Road and Lockport Road.
Meal said that asphalt surface replacement on Bear Ridge between Campbell Boulevard and West Canal Road will begin the week of September 6. Part of this section, from West Canal to Irish Road, is currently closed except for local traffic, due to a bridge replacement. The section of Bear Ridge from Irish Road to Campbell Boulevard will remain open to local traffic only during the resurfacing project, though there will be lane restrictions during the milling and paving, controlled by flaggers and portable traffic lights.
“Bear Ridge has been a focal point for us this summer and we are nearing completion,” said Meal. “The asphalt portion should be done the first week in October and the bridge work by the end of October, so I ask the public to just continue to be patient a little longer.”
Meal also updated on the culvert replacement project under Lockport Road at Cayuga Creek, just east of Walmore Road. That portion of Lockport Road has been closed to only local traffic since mid-June.
“The project fell about a week behind schedule during our very wet July which is one of things beyond our control in road construction,” said Meal. “But the contractors worked long hours to make up for lost time and though the project is not yet completed, we expect we will be able to open it up to full traffic within the next week.”

Town Operations Update
Town leaders continue to monitor daily updates of COVID infection rates regionally and in Niagara County and I’m sure all are aware that current trend data has caused alarm throughout Western New York. From the beginning, the Town has consistently been proactive in taking action to ensure the health and safety of employees while maintaining the services residents rely on. Therefore, effective Monday, November 16, 2020, the following modifications to Town operations will take place until further notice:
● The Town Hall and Public Works Facility will be closed to the public. Appointments may be made, as necessary, with a specific Town office for assistance.
● All forms of business transactions will continue to be possible through the locked drop box located outside the west entrance to the Town Hall.
● All Town departments are still available by phone, email, and USPS mail.
● Town playgrounds are closed.
● Town meetings will be closed to the public and streamed online in accordance with
the Governor’s Executive Orders.
Over the coming weeks we will continue to monitor COVID infection rates and hope to reopen Town offices as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
