Current Projects
Fire Hydrants
As an extension of the 2019 WIIA grant, we are embarking on a critical project to replace undersized and damaged hydrants with updated isolation valves. This initiative aims to align our water system with the 10 States Recommended Standard for Water Works, enhancing safety by reducing the risk of hydrant vehicular strikes
Water Meters
The Millerton Water District is on the verge of completing its water meter installation project. Thanks to the WIIA Grant (Water Infrastructure Improvement Grant), obsolete water meters have been successfully replaced with modern units that can be read remotely. This advancement aims to empower the water district in swiftly identifying water leaks and ensuring accurate billing
LED Streetlights
The Village is embarking on an ambitious climate-smart initiative, upgrading our current sodium street lights to cutting-edge, energy-efficient LED streetlights. With nearly 85 existing lights, this exciting and cost-saving project is scheduled to commence in early 2024
Wastewater
Over the past few years, the Village of Millerton and Town of Northeast have shown unwavering dedication to the development of a Village-owned and operated wastewater system. This system will seamlessly connect with the Town of NorthEast wastewater district, a testament to collaborative progress. Consultants and engineers have tirelessly worked on this initiative, supported by enthusiastic volunteers and successful grant writing efforts.
In September 2023, Engineers Tighe & Bonde took a monumental stride by commencing the crucial preliminary design and engineering phase. The first phase, addressing the Boulevard and Main Street business district and adjacent homes with a dogleg up Route 22 North, addresses the area of most urgent need
Eddie Collins Memorial Park
Eddie Collins Memorial Park has been under renovation for several years. In 2022, it reopened with a new soccer field, a parking lot for 100 cars, 2 basketball courts, an upgraded Little League Field and playground. The fall of 2024 will bring lights to the Little League Field.
The project continues with a plan for a 3,600 square feet pool house and community room in addition to a 5-lane Olympic short course swimming pool and a zero entry play area. The pool and pool house will be partly funded with a $6,385,000 grant from NYSWIMS and a $500,000 grant from New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Construction will begin in 2025 and completed in 2026 in time for the Village’s 175th anniversary.
