The Village owns and operates our own water and wastewater treatment plants. Water is delivered to customers inside and outside the village and we also contract with the Adams Center Water District owned by the Town of Adams for their customer's consumption of water.
We provide services through part-time police protection and a satellite office for the New York State Troopers is provided by the Village in our old municipal building.
The Village fire department has a roster of 60 volunteer members who actively provide protection to our residents and to the surrounding areas with mutual aid.
There are several different zoning districts which include residential, general commercial, industrial and a wellhead protection overlay.
