Water department reports hydrant flushing, winterization and compliance with state testing
Summary
The department reported 319 active meters, fall hydrant flushing including dead‑end re‑flushes, winterization of hydrants, routine maintenance and a monthly bacteriological test that met NYS sanitary-code requirements.
Eric Rogers submitted the water department report noting 319 meters currently in service, completion of fall hydrant flushing (including a second flush of dead ends), winterization of hydrants and routine maintenance work such as curb-stop repairs and dig‑safe mark-outs. Staff completed eyewash and fire‑extinguisher checks and other yearly inspections.
The monthly bacteriological sample met the bacteriological requirements for a public water supply as set forth in Subpart 5‑1.5 of the NYS Sanitary Code under Public Health Law 225. The department is investigating cellular meter‑read units to address intermittent "no or miss" reads and asked residents to clear snow away from hydrants near their properties to aid emergency access.
