We should have our report from the engineers about the total expansion capacity in March or April which will line us up for upcoming Grant Cycle.

During the month of November we averaged 14,000 GPD in the Red Hook Plant and 38,000 GPD in the BK Plant. There were five (5) samples sent out for testing and all came back within the normal range for compliance. For the old plant one process train is down for review of deficiencies, and clogging has been an issue for some time at the pump station it is recommended that Pump Station mixing should be implemented to help with pump failure and pump station pump outs.

As a reminder to all residents whether you are in the Sewer Use Area or not be kind to your pipes! Please put only 3 P’s in the toilet: Pee, Poop and (Toilet) Paper and while in the kitchen (or near other drains) no Fats, Oils, or Grease “FOG” – they clog up the pipes and make the system stressed. What goes down the drain matters!

If you are in the sewer use area and the emergency alarm goes off, call the Village Sewer Operator (845) 758-1081, option 8. Press the “Silence Alarm” button ONLY AFTER notifying the Sewer Operator. Please do not open the box or tamper with Village owned equipment.

Village of Red Hook Speed Limit Initiative Monthly Report December 2023

Creighton Manning is moving forward on an all-encompassing Traffic study that will take into consideration a school zone, village roads and the main throughways. We have connected the firm with the RHCSD to coordinate appropriate timings to conduct studies to impact school zone findings. They will compile a report based on their study (based on their findings) to aid in the documentation to lower the Area Village Speed Limit to 25 mph. The lower speed limit will help residents, businesses, and the overall safety of our village streets.
