With Montana Construction trucks rumbling through Pine Grove Lakes and Carbro Construction banging away in the Waldron Terrace neighborhood of Sloatsburg, sewers are top of mind with many residents these days. The cost of hooking up to the new Sloatsburg sewers varies, but can certainly make a dent in the household budget.
Montana Construction crews and equipment are currently digging up Pine Grove Lakes in Sloatsburg during sewer construction.
The Village of Sloatsburg might have the assistance residents need when it comes to hooking up homes to the new Rockland County sewer system. The Sloatsburg Community Development Committee, led by chair Adrienne Fuchs, has a large block grant for income-eligible residents that is available to help offset sewer hookup costs. The funds are part of the County of Rockland Office of Community Development and, if residents qualify, might go a long way to help defray the expenses involved in connecting to the municipal sewer lines.
