breaks that popped up in the village . “ Because of the cold weather we ’ ve had some larger ones unfortunately for us ,” Revella said . “ We noticed there was an issue because water production went up , and we went to see where the leak might be . We didn ’ t have anything noticeable on the roads and it ended up being in the woods near the rail trail . It was a larger water main break .”
While the village can only do so much to protect against water main breaks when the temperatures nosedive for prolonged periods , homeowners can take some preventative measures to hopefully guard against pipes bursting in their homes . “ Really for us it ’ s wait and see ,” Revella noted . “ But for homeowners if they have issues in their homes it ’ s good to leave a little bit of water running . Especially at night when it ’ s a little bit colder and wind may be going against certain areas of the house that don ’ t have proper insulation .”
During the Village Board meeting on Jan . 2 , the council unanimously decided to move forward with a plan to commit $ 125,000 in state funding to repair village sidewalks . Walden initially received a state Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) to upgrade the sidewalks on East Main Street , but the original plan had to be changed after the New York State Department of Transportation threw up numerous roadblocks in front of the original project , making it impossible to complete the task in the mandated period of time .
The village has decided to pivot to an alternative sidewalk location that ’ s eligible for the renovations . The exact spot for the work has not been pinpointed as of yet , but could start in the area of the elementary school and stretch along Walnut and Maple Streets . The board was given the option to possibly use the CDBG money for a sewer project instead , but opted to stick with sidewalk upgrades . “ We could probably do sidewalks for the next 10 years and not get them all done ,” Walden Mayor Susan Rumbold said . “ It ’ s just wear and tear from the material that people put out on the sidewalks and stuff that flies up onto the sidewalks from the road . It just deteriorates the concrete , it gets pitted . It ’ s a constant process . When you get done , five or six years down the road you ’ re looking to go back and do the ones you did five years previously . It ’ s just a never-ending cycle .”
The sidewalk refurbishments are slated to be completed this year , pending approvals . “ We have to send a resolution to the county for approval of the locations , and then we can go to bid ,” Revella said . Under the current plan , the village would complete as many linear feet of sidewalks before they run out of funding , as the board wants to best utilize the state funding to bolster it ’ s infrastructure . “ Whenever we get the money we ’ re constantly doing a sidewalk project ,” Rumbold said . “ It ’ s like streets , it ’ s just ongoing . You never get done with it .”
