Whitney Point Water Quality Report Released, Village Board Meetings Ongoing

The Village of Whitney Point has released its 2024 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report, confirming that the village’s tap water consistently met all State drinking water health standards throughout the year. The report, updated on May 31, 2025, emphasizes that Whitney Point’s water system has not violated any maximum contaminant levels or other water quality standards.

Prepared annually to comply with State regulations, the report aims to keep residents informed about their drinking water and to promote awareness regarding the protection of local water sources. Whitney Point’s drinking water is primarily sourced from ground wells. While the assessment indicates some groundwater sources have an elevated susceptibility to microbial and nitrate contamination, largely due to residential activities like lawn fertilization, and one well shows susceptibility to herbicide/pesticide contamination from nearby agricultural land use, the water supplied remained fully compliant with all health standards.

Residents with questions about the report or their drinking water are encouraged to contact Adam Wells, the Water Superintendent, at (607) 692-4021. Further details and discussions regarding the village's water quality and other operational matters are regularly held during Whitney Point Village Board meetings.

The Village Board convenes on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 7:00 PM. These meetings take place at the Town of Triangle Municipal Building, located at 2612 Liberty St., Whitney Point, and are also accessible via Zoom for broader participation. Looking ahead, the upcoming Village Board meetings for June 2026 are scheduled for June 11th and June 25th.

All residents are encouraged to attend these meetings to stay informed about local governance and community issues. Engaging with local officials and learning about vital services like water quality is an important way to contribute to the well-being of our Whitney Point neighborhood.
