New
Village and Town Website Design
When you get a chance, check out the new
design of the Town and Village of Cherry Valley website at www.cherryvalleyny.us. There
is new information on the webpage to include some history and lots of
pictures. There is also a calendar of
events on the home page and a blog spot for the Town Supervisor and Village
Mayor to keep everyone informed of what is going on in the Village and
Town. If you have anything you think
would be of interest to add to the website, please contact the Village Office
and we will see if it can be added.

Water Report
The
Annual Drinking Water Quality Report has been completed. It is included with this newsletter and
posted at the Post Office and Village Office.
Mayor’s
Message
We
have been making the Village website the information place to go. It seems like
a better idea to keep people informed on a daily basis instead of waiting for a
semi-annual newsletter. We are still involved in trying to get the Lancaster
St. house cleaned up. The DEC stopped us in our tracks but we have a person who
will be coming to test for asbestos in the near future. If nothing is found, we
can go ahead. If it tests positive we will have to get professionals to do the
cleanup. We will be meeting with the Mohawk Valley Land Trust at our May
meeting. They seem to have a lot of answers on how to accomplish cleanup
without using our tax dollars. We will keep you informed. We have a ton of bad
sidewalk and lots of potholes. It will be hard to pick where to start working
first but we will get done as much as our budget can handle. I have heard some
complaints of holes and other minor issues from Facebook. The hole that was
complained about at 2 p.m. was patched at 4:30 p.m. yet the complaints were
reinforced and lingered. I will say if you have a problem to email me at: cvmayor59@gmail.com or leave a message at
our Village office: 264-3791. I am also in the book. Remember, we are the Village
not the Town.
Sincerely, Lou Guido, Mayor

Annual
Drinking Water Quality Report Summary for 2017
Village of Cherry Valley
NY3800144
To comply
with State regulations the Village of Cherry Valley has been annually issuing a
report describing the quality of our drinking water. The Village’s water has again met with all
state drinking water health standards, for this past year.
It should be noted that all drinking
water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain
at least small amounts of some contaminants from natural sources. The presence of a contaminant does not
necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to
drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of
certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The
water that reaches your home meets/exceeds New York State
