Orange County Participating in NYS Private Well PFAS Testing Program - Applications open week of July 6th Do You Have a Private Well? Orange County Department of Health (“OCDOH”) announces participation in the New York State Private Well PFAS Testing and Mitigation Rebate Pilot Program. Applications for water testing will open the week of July 6, 2026. The New York State Department of Health (“NYS”) is funding a pilot program in Orange County where residents who get their water from a private well can apply through a NYS link to have their water tested for the presence of PFAS, at no cost to them. Testing is arranged through the NYS website. PFAS are a large group of man-made chemicals linked to significant health risks. If the level of PFAS in your well water is above the NYS drinking water standards and you either connect to a public water supply or install an in-home PFAS treatment system, you may be eligible for a rebate under the program. Orange County’s involvement is at the rebate stage. Participation in the program is voluntary and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Limited funds are available and once NYS funds are depleted, there will be no more testing or rebates. While all residents with private wells are eligible, emphasis is given to properties located in areas identified by NYS as priority areas based on the number of parcels with private water and septic and a high population density. There has been no study about the presence of PFAS in private wells in Orange County previously. Priority areas designated by NYS are as follows: City/Town Rank Town of Newburgh 1 Warwick 2 Montgomery 3 Wallkill 4 Goshen 5 Deerpark 6 Blooming Grove 7 Wawayanda 8 Chester 9 New Windsor 10 The full listing and map are on the OCDOH webpage: OCDOH PFAS webpage: https://www.orangecountygov.com/2794/Private-Well-PFAS-Testing-and-Rebate Map: https://www.orangecountygov.com/DocumentCenter/View/37777/Priority-Locations-Map-for-Private-Well-PFAS-Testing--Mitigation-Rebate-Pilot-Program Those interested in participating in the program should be ready, willing, and able to install a PFAS treatment system. Please be aware that if you have your well water tested, you will likely have to report the test results to a prospective buyer of the property in accordance with New York Real Property Law Section 462. It is recommended that you speak to an attorney with respect to reporting such testing to buyers and renters. To learn more about the program and how to apply, please visit the OCDOH’s webpage dedicated to the program. Please read all the information carefully to make an informed decision about participation in the program.

Two New Windsor Police Officers Complete Drug Recognition Expert Training The Town of New Windsor Police Department announces the graduation of 2 Police Officers who tried out for and were accepted into the Drug Recognition Expert training. Completion of this highly competitive and lengthy 3 week course puts New Windsor at the forefront of combating driving while under the influence of drugs. Police Chief Robert Doss stated, “I am very proud of Officer Sussman and Officer Weed’s successful completion of the very challenging and difficult Drug Recognition Expert program. The deployment of these Officer’s with their knowledge, skill and expertise in the area of drugged driving detection will certainly increase the overall safety of the motorists traveling throughout the Town of New Windsor. The Police Department remains committed to keeping the roadways safe for everyone. We had 75 Driving While Intoxicated arrests in 2018 and we anticipate the numbers of impaired drivers on the roads to increase dramatically in the upcoming years because Governor Cuomo has committed to moving forward with his agenda of legalizing marihuana. The New Windsor Police Department intends to stay ahead of this problem and that is why we now employ 2 of the 7 DRE trained Police Officers in all of Orange County.” New Windsor Police Announce Registry for Vulnerable Persons The New Windsor Police Department has announced a new program to aid members of vulnerable populations. The department has created a voluntary registry where family members may supply vital information about loved ones who are prone to wandering. This may include individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury or any other type of special needs, physical or mental disability. Participation in this program is completely voluntary and information provided will be kept at the Police Department and only used when necessary to identify or locate a missing or wandering person. In the event of an emergency, this information can allow officers to quickly and efficiently handle any incident that may arise. It provides officers with relevant and pertinent details that aid in identifying and reconnecting vulnerable persons with their loved one when minutes count. New Windsor Police Chief, Dan Valeri stated, “Often times, police officers encounter individuals who may not be able to identify themselves or provide their home address. Being able to search the registry, can assist officers in identifying these individuals and getting them home safely. Additionally, when a family member needs to report their loved one missing, the necessary information is already available for police to disseminate and begin a search.” The goal of the program is to promote community safety, improve officer safety, increase the efficiency of operations, and give community members some peace of mind for loved ones that may be prone to wandering. Registration forms are available online by clicking HERE or in person at the Police Department or Town Clerk, Kelly Allegra’s Office. For further information about the program, contact Sgt. Sylvester at 563-4660. Police Officer Exam Announcement: File By August 8, 2025 Police Officer Exam Announcement Filing is now open for the next Orange County Civil Service Police Officer Exam.
