Village of Red Hook Sewer Department 1 Monthly Report ’ ' February 2024
We are actively planning Phase II of the sewer program and are eager to find the best solution for both use capacity but also physical space and limitations. The village engineer is working on compiling a report for potential build out areas as we look to add more housing and protect our water supply.
The Old Plant processed on average 14,000 GPD and the new BK Plant processed 37,000 GPD. All samples came back within range. And there are a few deficiencies noted but at this point do not affect the overall well-being of the plants.
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.
