Wayne Parry/Associated Press New Yorkers whose properties were damaged in the storm are getting a break on their water bills.Homeowners whose properties were badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy will get a reprieve on their water bills, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced Friday: no payments are due until June.
The grace period, which covers more than 3,000 homes that have red or yellow tags, comes the day after the mayor announced a similar break on property taxes for homes damaged in the storm.
Under the water-bill measure, the city will also waive standard fees for some homeowners whose water service was interr upted by the storm and will suspend interest fees and collection on damaged properties that were delinquent before the storm.
