Village of Red Hook ~ Village Green Committee ~ Monthly Report ’ ' October 2024

Our upcoming Planting Day is this coming Saturday at 9 a.m. meeting here at the Municipal Lot. There will be a free Thank you Luncheon for the volunteers who helped plant. If you are interested in planting please let me know by Wednesday if you wish to join to luncheon to ensure we have enough food and any necessary dietary accommodations.

Residents and businesses interested in having a tree(s) planted on their adjacent Village Street or NYS highway right-of-way’s, volunteering for planting days, or sponsoring a VGC beautification project, please contact myself, Kym BradleyRickard, or Jen Cavanaugh - Village Clerk.

We are actively recruiting members. If you are interested in giving back to your community but don’t have a lot of time to give this may be the perfect committee for you!

Village of Red Hook i Sewer Department ' Monthly Report ’ ' October 2024

We meet every other Friday. If you have concerns about the expansion and/or are currently in the Sewer Use Area and have comments, concerns, etc. please do not hesitate to reach out. There is also the expression of interest form up on our website if you are wanting to connect into the sewer (capacity required). It will put you on our list of places to consider and puts you on our radar.

For current Sewer rates please see attached report.

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.
