Village of Red Hook Sewer Department Monthly Report July 2024
We continue to work with the village engineer on the planning of expansion phase II. Our grant application has been successfully submitted in the most recent consolidated funding application portal as part of a pro-housing sector. Additionally, we are working to make the process as easy as possible for residents to understand the process involved in being added to the use area (space permitting) and if there are any intended use changes in existing lots.
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 July 2024
Last month at the board meeting the board officially passed a resolution to order new solar speed signs as you enter the village – in accordance and cooperation with the DOT (as they are state controlled roads). This has been an on-going process and we are thankful for everyone’s understanding. We are still waiting on final reports from our engineer team – and you can see the tape on the ground from County traffic counts – our team was waiting on that data as well. The engineer firm will be compiling their own data, and utilize data from the county and state to make fully informed report and suggestions regarding the school zone and lower speed limit through the village.
