Happy
Spring!!!
Now
that winter has let up on its grasp, the construction season is very close and
restoration from the water project will start again in earnest. The biggest and
most prominent project in Gilbertsville is the total restoration of your lawns
and streets. The project has a significant impact on many of us in the
community. Every effort will be made to minimize the impact on village
businesses, the residents and the public. However, do be mindful that it is
impossible to have a project of this magnitude without having some impact as
well as some significant impacts. A huge thank you to all involved. We will
make sure that full restoration from the water project will be made. Thanks again for your patience. Almost all the meters have been installed at
this point. Thank you for all your
support for this very difficult task.
The Manganese Plant is a building that needs to serve Gilbertsville community
for many, many years, and is nearing completion. We plan to put the plant into operation and
start testing the water and get State Approval by May 1st (maybe
before).
Hydrant
Flushing will begin March, 19th.
This should be the start of better water for us all.
May
1st – Projected date for Manganese Plant and new water source to be
started. (dependent on state testing)
As
soon as the weather breaks restoration on lawns and streets will begin. I will be keeping Job Corps for our sidewalks
again this year. (We are looking to use
CHIPS (Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program) money to help
restore Spring Street.
Just a quick note:
For
those of you who want accurate and vetted information about Covid-19
the best source (and the one that all other levels of government are
referring to) is the CDC website which you can access HERE.
The CDC site has a tremendous amount of information - there is specific
guidance for schools, pregnant women and children, and businesses.
There is also a section with protocols for first responders and health
care providers.
Now that Winter is behind us, we are ready to welcome Spring and Summer
and embrace the outdoor events and activities that come along with it!
