CURRENT NEWS AND UPDATES:

ATTENTION RESIDENTS/USERS IN THE WATER DISTRICT

As of November 18th, 2024, a Drought Watch has been issued for Otsego County and a Drought Warning has been declared for Delaware and Greene Counties. There are four stages of drought that can be declared in New York State – watch, warning, emergency, and disaster. For additional information on the different stages please follow this link - https://dec.ny.gov/environmental-protection/water/water-quantity/drought and for the current state drought conditions please follow this link - https://dec.ny.gov/environmental-protection/water/water-quantity/current-drought-conditions.

Due to the current drought conditions, water systems are being requested to implement water conservation measures to reduce the amount of water used daily so that the system can maintain a reliable supply of water to customers. For example, consider limiting non-emergency use of hydrants, issuing water use conservation notices to customers, surveying your system for leaks and repairing any found, etc. to reduce the amount of water you need to provide to maintain water service in your system.

If you have any questions please call Andy at 607-267-6870.

BOVINA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SURVEY

The Comprehensive Plan Committee continues to review the survey results and is currently developing a new plan to guide Bovina's development over the next several years.

Twenty-two years later, there have been many changes in farming, technology, and communication, yet according to the 2024 Comprehensive Survey, most residents still choose to live in Bovina because of its Rural atmosphere and farmland character.

Due to the ongoing interest in the Comprehensive Plan Survey, here is a link to the survey results.
