Cold Spring lifts stage‑1 water emergency after reservoir reaches ~91%
Summary
Trustees approved rescinding the village’s stage‑1 water emergency enacted Sept. 22, 2025 after reservoir levels reached about 91% on Jan. 8; trustees urged continued conservation despite rescission.
The board approved a motion to rescind the system‑wide stage‑1 water emergency that had been enacted Sept. 22, 2025 after village reservoir levels rose above the emergency threshold. The chair told trustees the reservoir number was at about 91% as of Jan. 8 and said the rescission is effective immediately.
Trustees discussed the role of snowmelt runoff in replenishing the reservoir and cautioned residents to continue water‑conserving behavior even with the emergency lifted. The board noted longer‑term water supply planning remains a priority and that dredging or other reservoir projects would require regulatory review.
