Please Slow Down

A recent radar study conducted by NYS DOT revealed that 59% of traffic
on Route 395/Main Street within the Village is exceeding the speed limit. But if you live here, it seems more like 95% of the traffic exceeds the speed limit.  Please slow down to protect our children and pets.

Email Notification System

The Village of Delanson has initiated this Email Notification system so residents can be notified by email immediately of important information or any emergency situation that has developed in the Village.  Examples would be water main breaks, water main repairs, hydrant flushing, sudden changes in Village services such as garbage pickup or snow plowing, flooding, road closings, damaged roads etc..  Emails will not be sent for normal news items, notices or scheduled events. In addition, updates will be emailed to keep residents informed of the ongoing circumstances as new information is received by the Village until the event or emergency is over. There is no cost for this service.

On the left sidebar of this page,  simply fill in your Name and Email address in the appropriate boxes then check all the boxes that apply to where you live and whether you are on the Village Water System.   Click the SUBSCRIBE button and you’re done.  You will receive an email asking you to confirm your decision to receive these bulletins.  Once we receive your confirmation, you will be added to our mailing list to receive theses notices.  That’s it!  Please do not send an email to the village clerk as this will not add your name to the notification list.

Your privacy is important to us. Your email address will not be shared, sold or used in any other capacity and you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link on any email you receive. We hope this feature will not only help keep our residents well informed but safer during emergency situations.
