Environmental Hazards / Closures:

     To the best of our knowledge, no change has been formally reported to the residents of Lake Peekskill regarding the quality of the lake water - although it appears likely that the algae levels have decreased with the cooler temperatures and the passage of time. One more test result is reportedly due next week. And it was also noted that the lake level is scheduled to be lowered.

     The DEC blue green algae map, posted 10/3, no longer included Lake Peekskill.

     Use your best judgment, and contact official sources for the latest official information regarding the advisability of swimming in, bathing in, or eating fish caught in Lake Peekskill. Follow this link to access the August 2014 Lake Peekskill 2014 Water Quality Monitoring Report prepared by Princeton Hydro, LLC.

    A 9/17 e-mail from Scott Kishbaugh, DEC CSLAP Coordiantor, indicated:

"The lab results from the 9/15 shoreline bloom sample showed blue green algae levels of about 80 ug/|, above the DEC bloom criteria (=3Oug/l), and the microscopicanalysis showed "Woronichinia, Anabaena, and Microcystis" (all blue green algae species, some of which are capable of producing toxins). We don't yet have toxin data, but I will forward those results if they indicate high toxins."

And with all of that said, Summer 2015 is just around the corner...

Putnam Valley Free Library:
 
     Update, posted on the Library's Facebook page, October 2nd:
 
When it was discovered that cracks in the wall on the Library's second floor were increasing, engineers were called in and our 2-story building was closed. After obtaining the necessary permits, construction began in May 2014. Approximately 400 sq. ft. of the second floor, which was built over the porch supported by the vertical piers adjacent to Oscawana Brook, was demolished. A new second floor front wall was built. The new window upstairs was installed on August 27th.

This construction project addressed structural issues. It was not a renovation of the building. The loss of the office and collection space upstairs generated changes in the layout of the Children’s & Teen collections. However, the main floor of the Library and the collections downstairs remain the same.

The final details of the current construction project need to be completed and the work inspected prior to the issuance of a new certificate of occupancy by the Building Dept. There are also some building repairs which must be addressed before we can reopen.

Please note that our parking lot is fully open. Our entrance is at the north end of the parking lot adjacent to the illuminated sign. Our exit is again located at the south end of the parking lot. Both our entrance and exit are one way traffic only.

You can continue to pick up library materials that you have requested online as well as return items in our Community Room. Just walk across our covered bridge for access to the room or to return Library materials in our book drop when we’re closed.

To order library materials online, click on the Mid-Hudson catalog icon on our website. Your Library card can also be used at any of the 65 other libraries in the Mid-Hudson Library System.

Note from the Webmaster:

For the residents of Putnam Valley who have asked where this information is coming from, it is gathered together from the many websites, facebook pages, bulletins, flyers, signs, posters, newsletters and e-mails of the various organizations and entities represented.

 As to who pushes buttons on a keyboard to bring it to you,
my name is Michael S. Bennett; my family and I are residents of Putnam Valley.

I am associated with several organizations within our town that have expressed
frustration in trying to spread the word about their programs and activities.
Upon moving to Putnam Valley, my family also experienced difficulty
in getting information regarding where to go for the assistance
our town and county were providing during inclement weather,
power outages and hazardous conditions.

It is hoped that this information delivery system may assist both of those needs.
