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.

Water/sewer statements are sent quarterly in March, June, September, and December. Balance is due within 30 days without penalty. After 30 days, a penalty is assessed. If your water is shut-off, there is a $25.00 charge and to turn the water back on another $25.00 charge
Periodically, fire hydrants are opened to flush sediment out of the water lines. This is a necessary maintenance procedure. Closing your water valve at the meter can help prevent excess air from getting into your pipes and fixtures. When this procedure is scheduled, an announcement will be posted on this website, Facebook, and via email if you have signed up for Village emails. For more information, contact the Village Clerk or send an email to the DPW.
Scheduled repairs will be announced on this website, Facebook, and through email (if you have signed up).
Village water is tested periodically, as required by law. The annual reports detail the results.
