If you would like to have your nonprofit and charity fundraiser events added to the WRIP online datebook and announced on the air, please send the information to WRIP979@gmail.com at least 2 weeks prior to the event, and certainly no later than 1 week in advance, to allow us time to sufficiently promote it.

Flyers for your event may be posted on our Facebook page, however, the attachment must be sent as a JPG or PNG image only as these are the only compatible formats.

Please remember to include ALL of the following information, if applicable:

SEPTEMBER

Until Further Notice

  • The Town of Cairo has instituted a burn ban. Additionally, the Villages of Hunter and Coxsackie Water Departments have advised their residents to undertake voluntary water conservation measures. The Town of Prattsville’s request for voluntary water conservation is now MANDATORY. If you have a B&B or a rental property, please notify your guests and tenants about drought conditions in our area.

 

  • The burn ban in the Town of Hunter has expired. Everyone is encouraged to continue exercising caution when burning brush, yard waste, or even using outdoor fire pits. Never leave a fire unattended, and always make sure it is fully extinguished before leaving the area. If circumstances change and conditions warrant, another burn ban will be issued.

======================

Until Further Notice

  • The Village of Hunter Water Department has determined that a water shortage may be developing, therefore, users are to take voluntary water conservation measures to help preserve the system’s water resources. Measures that consumers should take include the following:

    • Do not water lawns – except newly seeded areas. Do not do this during the day.

    • Limit garden watering. Also, do not do this during the day.

    • Use full loads of laundry and dishwashing machines.

    • Do not wash vehicles.

    • Reduce time in the shower.

    • Fix leaky faucets and toilets.

    • Use a broom rather than a hose to clean sidewalks and driveways.

    • Do not fill swimming pools.

  • Please review your water use and reduce where possible.

  • Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please call (518) 263-5030 or (518) 528-8842.

  • (This voluntary water conservation notice went into effect on Sunday, August 24, 2025.)

===================

Until Further Notice

WATER CONSERVATION NOTICE FOR 2025

  • All customers served by the Village of Coxsackie water system are requested by the aforementioned municipality to conserve water. Due to current conditions of rainfall amounts as per the National Weather Service website listing Greene County as abnormally dry, moderate drought, and because the water system is affected by this, all residents served by this water system are asked to do their part to conserve water during the above period. Guidelines to save water include:
  1. No watering of plants, bushes, trees, or other subjects grown for primarily aesthetic or decorative reasons. No automatic or unattended sprinkler use.
  2. No filling of swimming pools or other recreational uses.
  3. Avoid washing automobiles, other vehicles, or inanimate objects.
  4. Check faucets and pipes for leaks. Leaks waste water 24 hours a day, seven days a week and often can be repaired with an inexpensive washer.
  5. Check your toilets for leaks. To test for leaks, add a small amount of food coloring to the toilet tank. If, without flushing, the color begins to appear in the bowl, you have a leak that should be repaired immediately.
  6. Use your automatic dishwasher only for full loads.
  7. Use your automatic washing machine only for full loads.
  8. If you wash your dishes by hand, do not leave the water running for rinsing.
  9. Keep bottles of drinking water in the refrigerator to keep them cool instead of running tap water.
  10. Take shorter showers. Long showers use much more water than is needed.
  11. Install water-saving showerheads or flow restrictors. Area hardware or plumbing supply stores stock inexpensive water-saving showerheads or restrictors that are easy to install.

We seek your help. If voluntary conservation measures are unsuccessful, mandatory water conservation may be enforced.

With the lack of rainfall over the past few months, the reservoirs are at low levels. We ask that residents do their part to help ensure the water supply’s sustainability throughout the borderline drought conditions we are experiencing.

Questions should be addressed to the Village Office (518) 731-2718 Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 4 PM.

(This voluntary water conservation notice went into effect on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.)
