Responsibilities:

The public works department is responsible for upkeep of the streets, parks, municipal building, and other infrastructure in the village.

 

The Department of Public Works maintains almost 3.2 miles of roadway within the Village. Each year, the Department attempts to pave certain streets, much dependent on the wear and tear of the street and the last time resurfacing was performed. The Department also maintains the storm drainage system.

During the winter, the Village plows, sands, and salts the streets as needed. The emphasis is placed on the hills on Cemetery St. and Center St. with the side streets to follow. No parking is allowed on Village streets from 2 am to 6 a.m. which helps in the snow removal effort. We ask our residents not to plow, shovel, or snowblow snow back into the streets. It is illegal under the State Vehicle and Traffic Law and it can create a hazardous condition.

Public Works also has the responsibility for maintaining Village park land. The Village also mows certain roadsides and the water works property

Frequently Asked Questions: Sewer Use

Sewer Department Questions and Answers

 

What items should not be flushed into the sewer system?
It is not recommended to flush household grease, oils or other fats into the
sewer system as they congeal and can clog either the household line or the
sewer main. The Village of Fonda requires commercial properties to have and
maintain a grease trap. Also, disposable wipes are not disposable in the sewer
system. They take years to decompose and can clog pumps and block lines.

 

Does the village allow storm water to enter the sewer system?
No. The sewer system is designed to accept only waste flow. Storm water via
roof drains, gutters, basement floor drains and sump pumped water must be
disposed of separately.
