Water Department
Municipal Water
Through NYS mandate, every home or business on the Village Municipal Water System must have an operational water meter installed. Failure to have a working meter installed, or tampering with a meter for the purpose of fraud, will result in a citation and fine.
The water department does not need to enter a home or business to read the meters for gallon usage or proper operation. Meters are read by an electronic unit that picks up the signal emitted by each unit. If you feel that your meter is not operating properly, contact the Water Department Superintendent.

Concerned you have a non-functioning water meter?
If residents have a concern as to the accuracy or proper functionality of their meter, they can request that it be tested. A form and information on the program is available at the Village Clerk’s Office. Any meter in question can be sent to a test facility to check if it is operating properly. If the meter is found to be defective, then the village will pay the costs of testing/shipping and replace the meter free of charge. Should the meter be found to be working properly, then the customer is responsible for the testing/shipping costs. The cost is between $150-$200
Meters are sent for testing to:

“All water meters are tested to American Water Works Association standards. The water meter must test 98.5% to 101.5% in order to pass the test. Results are then sent to the municipality. We work very closely with the Department of Health in order to provide customer satisfaction.“
