Village of Red Hook Sewer Department Monthly Report August 2023

We con�nue to meet regularly to discuss the final steps for the sewer project. We met on 29[th] to discuss the need for some bigger plans and to address the requests and future requests to connect. Currently we are working on edits to the code and ensuring all documenta�on is up to date and accurate.

There are s�ll a few items on the checklist needing to be completed prior to a full comple�on of the Sewer Project.

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 ma�ers!

If you are in the sewer use area and the emergency alarm goes off, call the Village Sewer Operator (845) 758-1081, op�on 8. Press the “Silence Alarm” bu�on ONLY AFTER no�fying the Sewer Operator. Please do not open the box or tamper with Village owned equipment.

We will take considera�on from exis�ng studies to inform areas of interest and what would be best for the Village businesses and residents.
