were solidified at the Board’s workshop at the end of March. As Delaware is familiar with the plant and with aiding and addressing malfunctioning plants - their goal is to break it down to brass tacks and start from scratch in learning what this particular system needs and how to get it up to snuff. Delaware worked on a plan to attack the plant with more testing (influent) to see if we are bringing something into the plant that is causing the uneven/unhealthy bug environment. Additionally, they were poised to go in on day 1 and do a full assessment of the plant itself. It is a priority to make sure we have a fully functional and operating WWTP. I also acknowledge that residents are duly concerned about the operations of the plant. It will take time, but I am trusting in the new team to whip the plant into shape so that after we can then move forward.
The Sewer team meets every other Friday. If you have concerns, comments, etc. related to the WWTP or the Sewer Use Area please do not hesitate to reach out.

Village of Red Hook Town of Red Hook Greenway and Trails Committee Monthly Report March 2025
The March meeting covered proposed road signage/safety measures for the Saw Kill Trail to alert drivers that there will be people on the road as the trail connects on and through the roads. There were some repair/maintenance updates such as repainting the sharrows and also adjusting the culvert bridge to accommodate tractors/mowers more easily, but both are weather dependent.
The committee is actively working on promoting the trails as off-road and safer options for traveling between schools and neighborhoods and working through educational material to send out regarding the “rules of the roads/trails” such as road safety, looking both ways, walking against traffic, riding with traffic, etc.
Upcoming dates: Ribbon Cutting event for Saw Kill Phase 2, by WLT will be held Saturday, April 26[th] at 1:30 so mark your calendars! It is in conjunction with the Rail to Trail Conservancy’s National Trails Day!
