The Town of Crawford is pleased to announce that we are in the process of transitioning our water meter reading system to an LTE Cellular endpoint system to efficiently and securely deliver meter reading data to us via a reliable cellular network. You will be able to monitor your own water use via an “App”, accessible on your phone, tablet or computer. You will also be able to set up alarms for excessive use, leaking/ dripping faucets, toilets, etc. If left undetected, could unnecessarily increase your bill.
We are asking that you contact our Water & Sewer billing department at 845-744-8876 to verify what type of meter and meter reading system you currently have to then schedule an appointment to have your cellular endpoint installed. An adult will need to be available to let our technician in to make the necessary changes to upgrade you to the cellular endpoint.
Bills are sent out quarterly and the 2024 rates are as follows: Water Rates-$7.00 per thousand gallons within district, 3X rate outside district Sewer Rates-$7.00 per thousand gallons within district, 3X rate outside district
