December Reports - Amy Smith ## **Water Use** In November, the Village of Red Hook treated a little over 6.5 million gallons (6,538,703) for an average of nearly 22,000 per day (21,796). The high was 273,300 gallons on November 5 and the low was 206,800 gallons on November 11. Average daily chlorine residuals in those gallons for November was 1.4 mg/liter with a high of 2.11 mg/l on November 7 and a low of 0.68 mg/l on November 22. Three locations were tested on November 13 and all samples were all negative for e.coli and coliform. ## **Events** The Village Tree LIghting event by the Chamber of Commerce was a fun, if chilly time. The Chamber did a great job of bringing businesses and residents together; the RHPD and the Village Department of Public Works employees made the event both more fun and safer by closing the block across from the tree. I encourage everyone to come out for the next community event in the Village - the lighting of the menorah at the top of the municipal parking lot with Rabbi Hecht from Dutchess Chabad - Rhinebeck Jewish Center. The lighting will be just after sundown on Monday, Dec 15. ## **Grants** While we wait to hear back from the Hudson River Valley Greenway Compact grants – should be any day now, I’ve been researching smaller grants that would supplement the Village’s in-kind match. These include sources that the Village could potentially use to pay for plantings, signs and lighting. ## **School Speed Zone** I’m waiting on the letter from the County; Robert Balkind’s office is sending a letter to indicate the County’s lack of objection to changing the speed limit on Linden Ave near the schools. The letter was delayed by the office’s Thanksgiving vacation plans. But, I got a written commitment to completing it by the end of this week. That letter remains the only piece missing from our submission to the state for a new school speed zone. As a reminder, establishing a school speed zone is one step of the plan for getting the Villagewide speed limit reduced. Finally, since our last meeting, I’ve worked with the deputy mayor on handouts about social service resources and started the new work with the mayor to help with revisions and development of personnel policies and procedures for the Village. ## Utility Billing Report Water/Sewer Department November 2025 |Utility Billing Report<br>Water/Sewer Department<br>November 2025|| |---|---| |Utility Bills Issued|$582.52| |Penalties/Finance Charges Issued|$1,506.04| |Utility Payments Received|$30,796.82| |Accounts Receivable Outstanding to the Village as of 12/1/2025|$23,299.26| Bill Adjustments[1] - None Submitted by, Jennifer Cavanaugh, Water/Sewer Clerk > 1 All adjustments must be approved by Water Department and Mayor and reviewed by Board of Trustees.
