Greenwood Lake updates water plant project and urges residents to complete state lead service survey
Summary
Village officials said test borings and engineering work are underway for a water filtration/pretreatment project awaiting Department of Health approvals, and reminded residents to complete a New York State‑mandated lead service survey (photo upload of meter required).
Village leaders told residents that preparatory test borings and engineering work for a water filtration and pretreatment contact settling tank are underway but that final approval is pending from county and state health authorities. The mayor said the project is funded but moving through the “bureaucracy” of state and county approvals.
On lead service lines, Mayor Howley urged residents to complete a New York State‑mandated lead water survey that requires a photo of the water meter where it enters the building. "It's a New York state mandated survey that we have to complete," Howley said, and directed residents to contact Village Hall or use a QR code on the website for assistance. Village staff said Clerk Kathleen Holder is available to help residents with uploads and that the survey is required for state compliance.
Officials emphasized that while the long‑term plant project is funded, timing depends on approvals and the village will provide regular updates.
