The Village of Fonda has posted detailed information explaining how Boil Water Advisories are issued and lifted, and the steps taken to protect public health and safety.

In short, the Village continuously monitors water quality at the treatment plant in accordance with New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) standards. When required thresholds are not met, NYSDOH is notified, and a Boil Water Advisory is issued as a precaution. Once conditions return to acceptable levels, multiple water samples are collected from different locations and tested by a NYS-certified independent laboratory before an advisory can be lifted.

Residents may also notice a more pungent chlorine odor following an advisory. This is expected during treatment adjustments and remains within safe drinking-water limits.

We encourage all water system users to review the full explanation and laboratory test results on the Village website at the link below.

https://villageoffonda.ny.gov/statewide-burn-ban-in-effect-october-2-to-october-15/

🔥 Statewide Burn Ban in Effect – October 2 to October 15

Governor Kathy Hochul, in coordination with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), has issued a statewide burn ban effective October 2 through October 15, due to increased fire risk and ongoing dry conditions.
The ban will be re-evaluated prior to expiration and may be extended if conditions remain dry.

New Yorkers can help protect homes, communities, and first responders by complying with the prohibition on most outdoor fires and conserving water whenever possible.

🚫 What the Burn Ban Means

The burn ban prohibits:

Outdoor fires used for brush or debris disposal

All uncontained fires, including most campfires

Open fires used for cooking (unless contained)

The following are still permitted:

Small backyard fire pits and contained campfires less than 3 feet in height and 4 feet in diameter

Small cooking fires that are fully contained

Remember:
Burning garbage or leaves is illegal year-round in New York State.
Some municipalities also have their own local burn bans currently in effect.

🧯 Fire Danger Levels Across New York State

According to the New York State DEC, many regions are under High Fire Danger, meaning:

All fine, dead fuels ignite readily, and fires start easily from most causes — including unattended brush and campfires.

High Fire Danger Areas include:

Southern Tier FDRA

Lake Ontario Plains FDRA

St. Lawrence FDRA

Adirondack FDRA

Adirondack High Peaks FDRA

Upper Hudson/Champlain FDRA

Moderate Fire Danger remains in other areas, including Montgomery County (Leatherstocking FDRA), meaning:

Fires can start from most accidental causes, but the number of starts and intensity are typically lower.

📍 Village of Fonda is located within the Leatherstocking FDRA, currently under a Moderate Fire Danger rating.

🌬️ Why the Ban Is Needed

Prolonged dry spell across much of New York State

Gusty winds and low humidity increase fire spread risk

64 wildland fires have been reported since August statewide

Even small fires can quickly become serious under current conditions

DEC Commissioner Amanda Lefton emphasized:

“New Yorkers can help keep our firefighters and communities safe by preventing fires in the first place.”

💧 Continue conserving water.
🚒 Help protect your neighbors, homes, and first responders.
