Copenhagen turns to neighbor for water source

WWNY · last updated

COPENHAGEN, New York (WWNY) — Copenhagen is trying to find a new drinking water source for the village and it’s turning to a neighbor.

Last year, Copenhagen started talking with West Carthage. The village board voted to bond for $7 million to build a main transmission line from West Carthage to Copenhagen’s water distribution system on Stoddard Road.

There’s still more to hammer out, including how much water West Carthage will provide Copenhagen.

Copenhagen has had water shortages in the past and has had to declare emergencies, making it almost necessary to find more water.

Copenhagen village officials wouldn’t provide further information on where the new water project stands.
