Recipe for Safe Holidays!

Makes: One Happy and Healthy Holiday

  • Get vaccinated. Children and adults age 5 and up should get a COVID-19 vaccine. 
  • Wear a mask. Wear a cloth or surgical face mask over your mouth and nose when grocery shopping or in other public indoor settings, or when serving food. 
  • Wash your hands before eating or serving food. 
  • Outdoors is safer than indoors—Have your meal outside if weather permits, or enjoy other outdoor activities. 
  • Communicate in advance with guests about your COVID-19 ground rules and the precautions you're taking. Cancel plans if you're sick. 

Safe travels. If possible, delay travel if you are not vaccinated or feeling sick. If traveling with unvaccinated family members, avoid crowds, wear a mask, and get tested.

State Septic System Replacement Program

The Clean Water Infrastructure Act of 2017 (L. 2017, c. 57, Part T) established the Septic System Replacement Fund to provide a source of funding for the replacement of cesspools and septic systems in New York State. This grant program (the “Program”) seeks to reduce the environmental and public-health impacts associated with the discharge of effluent from cesspools and septic systems on groundwater used as drinking water, as well as threatened or impaired waterbodies. Silver Lake and Java Lake have been identified as threatened or impaired waterbodies in Wyoming County. Click here to see a complete program summary.

If your property is located next to one of the identified waterbodies and you wish to participate in this program, please complete the online grant application.
