IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
PINE BUSH W.D. Failed to Provide Adequate Disinfection
Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor for the presence of our required disinfectant, chlorine, in our water system. We are required to provide chlorine residual continuously in our water system and record daily readings on Monthly Operation Reports submitted to the Orange County Department of Health (OCDOH). On September 26, 2026 we failed to provide adequate chlorine residual in the water system.
What should I do?
You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
What happened? What is being done?
The routine Monthly Operation Report showed free chlorine residuals of 0.03 mg/L and 0.18 mg/L at the MAIN and DUBOIS Treatment Plant Entry Points, respectively, on September 26th, 2026, under the minimum required 0.2 mg/L at the entry point. Disinfection is used to destroy harmful microbes that can be in drinking water. Disinfection was reported as restored on September 27th, 2026 on the report.
The low chlorine residuals were caused by issues with the chemical feed equipment. Upon identifying the issue, operations personnel immediately investigated and took corrective action. The chemical feed issues were resolved the same day, September 26th, 2026, and normal disinfection operations were restored. Adequate chlorine residuals were confirmed on September 27th, 2026.
Harmful microbes in drinking water can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptom and may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems. But these symptoms are not just caused by microbes in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you should seek medical advice.
Disinfection will be recorded as required on all future reports.
For more information, please contact the Orange County Department of Health at 845-862-6201.
Please share this information will all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
This notice is being sent to you by the Town of Crawford.

INCREASE AND IMPROVEMENT OF FACILITIES
SPECIAL MEETING NOTICE
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Town Board of the Town of Crawford will hold a special meeting for the purpose of holding a public hearing on September 29th, 2021 at 6:00 PM, in person at the Crawford Senior and Community Center, 115 State Route 302, Pine Bush, New York to consider and hear public comment on a proposed increase and improvement of the facilities of the Pine Bush Water District and to take action on said proposed increase and improvement of said facilities, and on any other business that may come before the board. In addition, the public may attend this meeting via remote ZOOM videoconference, as described further below.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the proposed improvements include the purchase of property for the protection of two newly drilled water production wells and construction of a well house approximately 1,600 LF north of NYS Route 52 on Dubois Street (Tax Parcel: Section 2, Block 1, Lot 79.2), along with installation of a water main to connect to the Water District’s existing water system in the hamlet of Pine Bush. The proposed 20 feet x 30 feet treatment building would provide chlorination of the groundwater source and provision for future sequestration, if needed. Treated groundwater would be pumped to the Water District’s existing water system via approximately 6,100 feet of 8-inch diameter HDPE transmission main installed along NYS Route 52 and connected to the existing water system on State Route 52 across from Boniface Drive.
The estimated maximum cost of the proposed project is $4,762,100. The County has previously secured a Local Government Efficiency Grant (in 2012 and 2015) in the amount of $920,200 for drilling and design work for the subsequently proposed wells on County land. The proposed wells on County land will be replaced by the newly drilled wells on the Dubois property. The Town has secured a WIIA grant from the State Environmental Facilities Corporation in the amount of $2,311,680, and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Financial Assistance in the amount of $1,001,100 for the proposed well house and connection to the Dubois wells. Municipal contributions will be in the estimated amount of $540,000 grant match. A map and plan of the proposed improvements is on file in the Town Clerk’s office. All persons interested will be heard by the Town Board at the public hearing.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that persons who attend the meeting via Zoom will be able to see and hear the meeting, but will not be able to make or submit oral or written comments during the meeting. Any person who attends by Zoom and who wishes for his or her comment to be heard during a public hearing or the public comment session can send his or her comments in advance of the meeting to [email protected] or call 845-744-2020 by no later than 4:00 PM on September 29, 2021.
