SUPERVISOR’S SUMMARY REPORT
The Westchester Joint Water Works (WJWW) is replacing water meters to be able to remotely
collect flow data. With the remote meter reads they will be able to obtain water meter data by
driving by a residence and will not have to go onto private property. There are only 400 additional
homes that need the new meters. Please respond to WJWW’s request to set up an appointment to
change your meter. The replacement should only take about 30 minutes. WJWW also asks to
make sure you have a back flow preventer device on your irrigation system. This is required by law
and protects our drinking water system from contamination from in-ground sprinkler systems.
The Town will be sending a new mailed newsletter twice a year in the spring and fall. The
newsletter should go out in the next two weeks. The Town is launching a new website in late June
that will be more interactive and attractive. Residents will be able to pay for parking tickets and
recreation programs online. The Village of Mamaroneck Historical Society held a bicentennial
celebration for the Old Schoolhouse that was a wonderful event celebrating the long and rich
history of the community.
The Larchmont Mamaroneck Local Summit held a breakfast meeting focused on recreational
activities in the area and our own Superintendent of Recreation, Jill Fisher, presented. She did an
excellent job. The Town is selling recycling bins and rain barrels at the Town Yard on Maxwell Ave.
on Saturday mornings. Please remember that leaf blowers are banned from June 1 to September
30 so please inform your landscapers to refrain from using them. Finally, the Town had a staff BBQ
at the TMFD that was well attended and enjoyed by all. Thank you to the TMFD and especially
Chief Joe Russo for his cooking.
