Attention Cortlandt Consolidated Water District Customers

10/4/2024 Beginning at 4:00pm this evening, our staff from the Department of Environmental Services and National Metering Services will be visiting homes that have not scheduled their appointment to have their water service line tested. Both DES staff and National Metering Services will have their ID badges and vehicles will be marked with the town seal or company logo. They will need permission to enter your home to test your water service line for lead and copper. It is a simple test that requires a couple of minutes to perform. In addition, if necessary the Town would like to upgrade the reading system on your meter, to make it more efficient.  This is mandated by the Federal Government (EPA) and must be completed by October 15th. This is protection for you and your family. Financial penalties for those who don't have this testing done may be imposed shortly.

We thank you for your cooperation.
