Manager Revella stated that the storm on Tuesday, May 15th hit us pretty hard with most of the Village having no power at some point, many down wires and trees, as well as closed roadways. Thankfully as of 10am this morning NYSEG was finally able to get power restored at the Sewer Plant. We still have 2 pump stations that are out of power but they are working on getting them back online. NYSEG has stated that everyone should have power by Friday, May 18, 2018 by 7pm or sooner. We gave out 2 tons of dry ice and 1 pallet of water this morning at Wooster Grove and are looking to get more delivered to give out. May 17, 2018 Special Meeting 1  . Mayor Rumbold let everyone know that the Town of Montgomery, Village of Maybrook, and Village of Montgomery all were very quick to offer assistance after the storm and we are very grateful for that. Manager Revella added that we had to get fuel from the Town Barn yesterday as the power was out at our DPW Building. County Executive Neuhaus has reached out a number of times and he also spoke with the Governor’s office this morning all offering assistance. He responded to each that we would take whatever they are able to offer. We continue to work on tree removal and debris clean up. May 17, 2018 Special Meeting 2
