The Town of Edwards will have a significant increase in construction traffic.
Michels Power, Inc. will have a laydown area behind the town salt barn, so there will be a high traffic flow in and out of the town barn area. Please be very careful around the playground area as trucks will be going by to the town barn.
Federal funds are available to help low-income households pay up to $2,500 of past-due water and sewer bills.
The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) helps low-income households pay the cost of drinking water and wastewater services. The program can assist households who have past due bills (arrears) for drinking water and/or wastewater services. The program is expected to serve roughly 105,000 households statewide, including St. Lawrence County. Find out more...
