Water Service Turn-On & Shut-Off Guidelines
The Village of Dannemora has put simple guidelines in place for turning water service on or off to keep things safe and running smoothly. Requests must be made by the property owner (or someone authorized by the owner), and someone must be present at the property during the appointment. For water turn-ons, Code Enforcement will also be onsite to ensure everything is safe and up to code. Please note that shut-offs require at least 24 hours’ notice unless it’s an emergency. Property owners are responsible for making sure the area is accessible and that vacant properties are properly protected. To schedule a service, call the Village Office at 518-492-7000.
