Ludlow trustees weigh stronger steps on delinquent utility account after year‑long payment lapse
Summary
Trustees directed staff to send a demand letter requiring half the outstanding balance within a month for a resident on a long-standing payment plan and discussed liens for sewer-only accounts as a next step if payments do not resume.
The board discussed an aged receivable for a resident who had been on a payment plan since June 2025 but had not made payments since September 2025 and instructed staff to send a formal letter requiring half the outstanding balance within one month or face further action.
Penny Wu said the account had not seen payments since September and recommended sending a letter to require half the balance within a month or to take the next step, which she described as placing a lien on the property if necessary. Justin Hyjek noted the village had not used liens before and asked staff to reach out to severely delinquent accounts to pursue collection while exercising caution.
The board’s remarks indicate staff will proceed with a formal demand and report back; the minutes record no immediate lien action but set clear next steps for collections work.
