We did a drainage repair in the dead end of Gilbert Lane adding 100 ft of 6 in perforated pipe and large gravel to fix a drainage issue.

We replaced several faded street signs as well as several road signs have been updated to larger new signs.

Our Basins repair crew has repairing basins they will be out daily has we have several in need of repair. They repaired 5 YTD

I’d like to take a moment to thank the men and women of the Highway dept. for their continued hard work and dedication.

The phones at highway are monitored 24 / 7 and I ask residents with issues to call us and not post on Facebook as we don’t troll for complaints. As well be sure to go on Town of Putnam Valley Highway Department Facebook page and like it to stay on top of all the doings of the Highway Dept.

I can always be reached in my Office 845-526-3333 on my cell 845-745 -0795 and SKEELER@PUTNAMVALLEY.GOV

253 Days till Christmas

Gratefully,

Feminine Hygiene Drive May 2026

It is time for another collection drive! For the month of May, we will be collecting feminine hygiene products in support of Putnam CAP. Feminine hygiene products cannot be purchased using SNAP benefits and are always in high demand. I have attached a flyer which lists you as a drop off location. If there needs to be changes/updates, please let me know. A member of our staff will be coming around the district to drop off a collection box and will come at the end of the month to pick everything up.

We had such a successful diaper drive in February (1,600 diapers were collected, providing essential relief to more than 80 local families!) so we are looking forward to our communities supporting this important drive as well!
