12 March Warning: Residents being targeted by mail scam in regards to water tests March 12, 2020 By Patrick Mangan General 0 *** WARNING – PUBLIC NOTICE *** The Town is advised of a direct mailing being sent to residents by a company called Hudson Valley Environmental Solutions. They are offering a “free water test” in an effort to sell homeowners a water treatment system for up to $6000 or more. They may also use the name “Rain Soft”. Please note, this company has not sought a solicitor’s permit to sell these products or provide these services to Town residents, and the Town has not sanctioned their doing so. In fact, the same company improperly solicited Town residents by leaving similar solicitations on people’s front doors and in their mailboxes a few months ago, prompting the Town to contact the New York State Department of Environmental Police who advised them to stop. Clearly, they didn’t heed this warning. Please don’t be fooled! If residents have any questions over this issue, please contact Supervisor George Meyers at (845) 563-4610.
