New Look in Quarterly Utility Bills

The Village changed to a new software program, so all billings will look different. If you are interested in being able to pay your bills online through a web portal or receiving your bill through email please contact the Village Clerk. These functions should be available by the October billing cycle.  

Village Hall Summer Hours

The Village Hall is open to the public Monday through Thursday from 7:30 to 4pm and Friday from 7:30 to 1:30pm. Masks must be worn to enter. The Office will have limited hours of operation the week of July 6^th through July 10^th. Please put any payments in the drop box if the Office is closed.

Messaging System

The Village of Oriskany Falls has been sending messages through a global connect system since February, known as IRIS, for Immediate Response System. If you aren’t in the system yet and want to be, please call the Village Clerk and give her your information.

Residents may supply a phone number (up to 5 per household) and/or an e-mail address to start receiving important messages. All personal information (i.e. phone numbers & e-mail addresses) will be kept confidential by the Village Clerk. You may e-mail or text your information to vilofalls@cnymail.com or 315-335-0129. The sooner we have your contact info the faster you will start receiving important information!

Messages may be about offices hours, tax/utility bill due dates, road work, water/sewer repairs, board meetings, movies in the park, Youth & Recreation Program being canceled, when the Village parks will open up and so much more!

Summer Recreation canceled

The Village Board had to cancel the Summer Youth & Recreation Program for the year due to COVID-19 restrictions. 

Maple Ave Park

The Village Board decided it was time for an upgrade in park equipment at Maple Ave. You will see that the old wooden structure is gone as well as the seesaw and mulch. A new play structure along with a swing set and rubber mulch will be installed. As soon as the new equipment is in and the parks are open for enjoyment, a message will be sent out to the residents through the IRIS System.

Green Waste Pickup Reminder

All green waste should be put out to the curb in a dump-able container.  Green waste consists of grass clippings, leaves, weeds and brush. Do not put dirt or rocks in with green waste. Branches must be cut into 5ft sections and put to the curb, if you bundle them it’s easier to pick up. The Village DPW will not pickup branches that are larger than stated. NOTICE: The Village will remove branches that have been trimmed or fallen off; we will NOT remove an entire tree. If you have cut down a whole tree, it is your responsibility to remove it in its entirety. Green waste will be picked up on Mondays, weather permitting.

Fireworks over Oriskany Falls Postponed

The 21st Annual Fireworks Celebration that was to be held Saturday, June 27^th had to be postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions. No date has been set.

Village Election

This years’ election was postponed from March 18^th to September 15th from noon to 9pm at the Village Hall. The positions up are for two Trustees and are for a term of two years each. Douglas Smorol and Jean White are running for these positions. Contact the Village Clerk with any questions on Village Election.

Summer Movie Series

C.W. Clark memorial Library

The library is now providing curb side pickup for their patrons. While we are not yet able to order materials from other MidYork libraries, all materials we have in the library is available for curbside pickup.

Just call 315-821-7850 or message Facebook https://www.facebook.com/cwclarkmemorial/ with a list of books or movies you would like and we can look them up for you and let you know if we have them available, and when they are ready for you to pick up.

You can always look at our online catalogue as well at www.oriskanyfallslibrary.org and login with your library card.

We’ll do whatever we can to help you find what you’re looking for. You can always get items at other MidYork libraries by going to those libraries to pick them up as well. There is just no transport between libraries at this time. We hope things will change in the near future! But for now, give us a call and we’ll do what we can!

With the current situation, we have decided that there will not be a carnival in the park this year. We are so sad to have to cancel this fun event, but the safety of the children is of the most importance. We will plan something for them when things settle down and we can have some fun. We will really miss seeing the kids!
