To prepare for future upgrades to our water system and comply with New York State regulations, the Village of Chatham has been tasked with identifying properties that have lead service lines. This information will be shared with New York State to ensure compliance and guide our improvement efforts.

We need your help to determine whether your property has a lead water service line.

Please visit the following link: Lead Service Line Identification Survey. There, you’ll find step-by-step instructions on how to perform a simple scratch test to identify your service line material. After completing the test, please fill out the short survey.

If you need assistance or have questions, don’t hesitate to contact the Village Clerk’s Office:

• Email: sdavis@villageofchatham.com

• Phone: 518-392-5821 ext. 5922

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work to improve our water infrastructure and services.

Sincerely,
John Howe, Mayor
