GUILDERLAND — In a unanimous vote Thursday evening, the town board here adopted  a $38,325,630 budget for next year.

Supervisor Peter Barber, during a virtual public hearing where no one from the public called in, said the budget was “very conservative I think in many ways.”

Mary Beth Bianconi with Delaware Engineering, which is handling the application, explained that the town has three wells. One is used in the summertime when water use peaks in town; the other two wells are unused because they have high levels of iron and manganese.

The Altamont Board of Trustees at its Nov. 3 meeting heard about a number of recent water-main breaks in the village; approved a long-overdue repair project to be sent out to bid; and agreed upon a way to come up with more money to pay off a multi-million-dollar sewer-plant upgrade loan. 

ALTAMONT — Linda A. Lown, a nurse who loved horses, died suddenly on Monday, Oct. 18, at her home in Altamont.
