We have learned something new about the outdoor water meters. If you reach 999.9 gallons, the meter will reset itself. Please either send a picture of the meter reading or bring it to me to reset. We are in a learning process and attempting to work out the kinks. Sorry for the inconvenience of this new system. You can always feel free to contact the office about this new turn of events.

We are happy to announce our latest update to the Village of Chatham website. If you go to “Community”, you will find a link to our new Interactive Map. This map shows places of interest, municipal buildings, parks, schools, etc. You can also look to see what “Zone” a particular area rests in by clicking on “Zoning”. You have several options to choose, from historic to commercial and everything in-between.
The Village of Chatham has a new vendor for garbage and recycling pick-up. County Waste was awarded the contract to be our vendor from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.
For the most part, you should not see significant changes in service with pick-up day continuing to be on Wednesdays between 7 and 1.
One change will be the use of recycling totes that will be provided by County Waste. They will drop off totes at all properties on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 5 and 6. If you do not receive one, please call the Village Clerk’s Office at 392-5821 and we will get one to you. The use of the totes is not mandatory but is recommended.
Another change is that there will only be one truck that makes the rounds through the Village, picking up both garbage and recycling at the same time. The truck will have two compartments, so that garbage and recycling are kept separate in the truck.
In response to concerns of Village residents about neighboring municipalities finding high levels of PFOA in their water sources, the Board of Trustees for the Village approved having the Chatham water tested. The results have come back and show that there is less than 0.67 parts per trillion of PFOA in the Village water source. The EPA standard is that 100 parts per trillion is an acceptable level. Even applying the more conservative standard of 20 parts per trillion that some states use, the Chatham water supply is well within safe levels. The level of PFOA in the Village water supply is so low it is considered to be “non-detectable.”
The actual report from the testing lab can be found by clicking here: PFOA Test Result
