Town of Crawford 2020 Budget
Town of Crawford, 121 State Route 302, Pine Bush, New York
Supervisor Charles E. Carnes is pleased to announce the 2020 Town of Crawford Budget will once again be below the New York State Property Tax Cap for the 8th consecutive year. This will enable Town residents to be eligible for any New York State tax credit reimbursements. For 2020 there will be a minimal tax increase of .987% or less than 1%.
For 2020 the general tax levy will be $2,791,286 for the general budget in increase of $80,906 while the tax levy for the highway department will be $2,084,446 an increase of $24,941.
Rateables increased from $332,702,352 to $336,744,175 an increase of $4,041,823.
Water rates increased from $9.59 per unit to $10.00 per unit for an increase of about $10.00 per year for a single family home.
Sewer rate increased very slightly while lighting and parking rates remained roughly unchanged.
Unfunded mandates increased due to New York State raising the age law and expected ruling on court arraignments and representation for those accused of crimes.
The largest budget increases were police services, social services, IT and computers, medical and law enforcement. We used $100,000 from our fund balance for our general budget and $25,000 from our highway balance.
The expansion of our walking trail was completed in 2019 as well as new park facilities and new equipment for the highway department.
In 2020 we anticipate a new water source for Pine Bush and a revitalization of the Bullville area. As well as new sidewalks in the shopping area downtown. We also anticipate expanding our youth program.

More Information about Flushing
During the flushing season, most crews work between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with one crew working at night from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., primarily in the business area.
What is the Water Main (Hydrant) Flushing Program?
To improve water quality and minimize discoloration, water mains are comprehensively flushed by a technique known as Conventional flushing. The procedure is performed in warm-weather months and involves the systematic opening and closing of hydrants, one section of main at a time, to force the water through the pipes at high velocity, removing accumulated mineral sediment until the water is clear. The operation can take from a few minutes to over an hour, although most last about 30 minutes.
How Will Flushing Affect Water Service?
When flushing crews are working close to your residence or business, you may experience periods of very low pressure or even a complete stoppage of service. Flushing operations may also lead to discolored water, which can be drawn into homes and businesses if the water is being used during or immediately following the flushing. Such events should affect customers for a few hours at most. The discoloration is caused by iron (red color) or manganese (black color) particles being dislodged from the water main which can stain porcelain and laundry. If discoloration occurs, open the cold tap nearest the water meter—usually a basement sink—to full flow until the water runs clear. In some situations this may take 5 to 10 minutes. It is also advised that you make sure your water is clear before doing laundry or other projects for which discolored water could cause problems.
A precise schedule of flushing operations is difficult to determine more than a day or two in advance. If you wish to be notified before work will be done in your area, please call Water Department at 744-2515
We ask for your patience and understanding during this critical main cleaning process.
