    Village of Mamaroneck Tree Law

    Tree Law Graphic 01 SMALL PNG

    Trees help sustain an ecological system that provides climatic advantages to people and wildlife alike: cooling the air, buffering the wind and providing a natural barrier to noise. Conserving these natural assets was the impetus behind a decision by the Village of Mamaroneck's Board of Trustees (with support from the Tree Committee) to vote on and enact a new tree law. On October 12, 2021, the Village passed a local law making property owners in the village responsible for the maintenance of trees on their property, including their removal. The penalty for failing to follow this new law is a fine or $1,050 or more. The law is intended to preserve our trees, which provide numerous benefits, including the reduction of air pollution, increase to the tree canopy, and the improvement of the drainage and maintenance of a healthy eco-system. Studies show that a minimum tree canopy cover of 40% is the threshold needed to reap the full benefits of trees. A goal of the Board of Trustees, supported by the Tree Committee, is to achieve this minimum tree canopy coverage and maintain it on an ongoing basis. The Tree Committee as well as the Building Department has put together the following resources to help educate and inform residents about our Village's Tree Law.

    New York State Awards Grant of $30 Million Toward Construction of Rye Lake Water Filtration Plant


    MAMARONECK, N.Y. (Dec. 14, 2023) --- Westchester Joint Water Works (WJWW) has been awarded $30 million from New York State toward the construction of its $138 million water filtration plant proposed to be built on land at the Westchester County Airport in the Town/Village of Harrison. 

    WJWW, a nonprofit public benefit corporation responsible for maintaining a drinking water system for up to 100,000 Westchester County residents, is under state and federal orders to build the plant to filter its Rye Lake water source to ensure the safety and quality of the drinking water it supplies.

    Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the award of $479 million in critical water infrastructure projects statewide this week, which included the WJWW grant which was the largest drinking water grant award in the mid-Hudson region.

    “We are grateful to Gov. Hochul and New York State for recognizing the importance of ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water for all of our residents, and providing our municipalities with these much-needed resources,” said Paul Kutzy, WJWW Manager. “This funding will help offset the costs associated with building the mandated Water Filtration Plant and in so doing mitigate the impact to ratepayers. Most importantly, the funding helps facilitate safe water for generations to come.”
