🚫🔥 New York State Outdoor Burn Ban in Effect 🔥🚫

From March 16 through May 14, outdoor burning is prohibited across New York State.

Spring in New York brings warmer days, but it also brings dry brush and unpredictable winds. Even a small fire can spread quickly this time of year. As your local 911 center, we send resources to these calls — and we truly appreciate everyone who helps prevent them before they start.

🚜 The only outdoor burning permitted during this time is agricultural controlled burns. All other residential burning is prohibited. 🌾

By following the burn ban, you’re helping protect your neighbors, our firefighters, and our community’s homes and natural spaces. Thank you for doing your part to keep everyone safe.

For additional details, please visit the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation website.

Now that we have seen our first snow fall for the year we want to remind residents to clear sidewalks of snow and ice to make them safe for other residents and students to walk on.

Please reference Waterloo Village Code Article 2 - Sidewalks, Section 205-14:

§ 205-14 Removal of snow and ice.
A.
Owner or occupant to remove. It shall be the duty of every owner or occupant of any premises fronting on any public street or alley to remove all snow and ice before 9:00 a.m. following the time of the deposit.
B.
Immediate removal impractical. In case it is impractical to remove such snow and ice, the owner, lessee, tenant or occupant or other person having charge of any premises as aforesaid shall, within the aforesaid specified time, cause the sidewalk abutting on such premises to be covered with sand or some other suitable material and shall as soon thereafter as the weather permits thoroughly clean the sidewalks.
C.
Noncompliance; Village to perform work. In case of neglect or refusal of any owner or occupant to comply with the provisions of this chapter as to snow and ice, the Board of Trustees shall cause all necessary work to be done at the expense of the person so in default, together with a charge of 50% thereof to cover costs of administration and supervision, and if payment is not made by such person the same shall be assessed against the land in the same manner as general Village taxes.
