Water Conservation

Leaky toilets and faucets cause unnecessary waste of your water. Please help us eliminate extra pumping costs and check for leaks regularly. If a leak is suspected in your home, there will be an indication on your water and sewer bill, mailed quarterly.

Storm Water Management

The Village of New Paltz asks everyone to help eliminate unnecessary and harmful liquids and materials, such as fertilizers, pesticides, soaps, and sands, from being washed into the streets and into the storm sewers. This will help to protect the Wallkill River, as well as the fish, animals and vegetation that depend on this valuable habitat.

Pesticides

The Village of New Paltz has no routine application of pesticides in the maintenance of its buildings and grounds. These dangerous chemicals are a hazard to our environment and our employees. Parks are pesticide-free for the safety of children and animals. For more information on pesticides and how you can have a pesticide-free home, please visit the Grassroots Healthy Lawn Program.
