Village of Red Hook SEWER & WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT October 2025

We had an operational meeting on Oct 16 & 30 where we reviewed sewer & water operations.

SEWER:

The list of equipment and supplies needed for the Sewer plant has been reviewed and okayed for purchase. Most of the items have been delivered and are in operation.

The focus has been on solids management – the regulation of the age of the biology or “bugs” (MCRT). With the new equipment, monitoring the solids is now more precise and proper wasting is ongoing.

Electric wire has been laid to accommodate a potential alarm system and to make permanent some of the connections for equipment being used at the plant.

We received no odor complaints that tied to the WWTP in the month of October. The last WWTP odor complaint we received tied to the WWTP was in early May.

Rural water is scheduled to meet with the Sewer team in mid-November to help the team begin developing an asset management plan.

WATER:

We reviewed operations at the Water Treatment Plant. It’s running smoothly. Chlorine residuals are good. We need to consider an auto-flushing hydrant in the eastern area of Rt. 199.

Monthly and annual sampling scheduling is being finalized, along with the appropriate supplies needed on an ongoing basis. H2O is now managing the reporting to the County.

The installation of the check valve and a new injection point in the water treatment plant will be a winter project.
