History
The Town of Halfmoon, located in Saratoga County, New
York has an existing municipal water system consisting
of: The Town of Halfmoon Consolidated Water District and
Water District No. 1. The Town’s water system currently
serves over 10,000 residents in the Town of Halfmoon.
The Town of Halfmoon is bordered by: the Town of
Stillwater and the City of Mechanicville to the north;
the Hudson River to the east; the Mohawk River and the
Town of Waterford to the south; and Interstate Highway
87 (i.e., the Northway) and the Town of Clifton Park to
the west. Development of the Town’s water system
generally began in the southwesterly part of the Town,
and has rapidly expanded both north along the Northway
corridor and east across the southern border of the
Town. The water systems northern end includes the
Vosburgh Road, Johnson Road, Smith Road, Pruyn Hill
Road, and Raylinsky Lane area of Town.
Water Districts Nos. 1 and 3 were created in the 1970’s;
Water Improvement Area No. 1 and Water Districts Nos. 4
and 5
were
created in the 1980’s; and Water Districts Nos.
2,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 14 and the extensions were created
in the 1990’s; Water Districts Nos. 12 and 15 completed
in 2001. In 2001 the Town of Halfmoon consolidated all
Districts into one with three zones. In 2012 all three
zones will become one.
The development of the Town’s water system over the past
thirty years was due primarily to the inadequate
individual well supplies in the Town, as well as the
growth the Town experienced in response to the
construction of the Northway. The need for an adequate,
reliable, and dependable water source to serve the
existing water service areas is of paramount importance
to the Town of Halfmoon.
SOURCE:
The Towns main water source is Water Treatment Plant
with it’s source being the Hudson River. The Town has
five well sources located at the north end of town and
are used as a backup. The supply is free of
contamination and is in compliance with the Safe
Drinking Water Act Standard. The Town has emergency
connections with Town of Waterford and Cilfton Park
Water Authority.

SYSTEM STATISTICS:
The system has approximately 100 miles of pipe, 1000
valves and 950 fire hydrants. The system has four water
storage tanks sized at 400,000 gallons, 750,000 gallons,
800,000 gallons and 1,000,000 gallons.
The average daily consumption is 1.8 MGD and a maximum
day of 3.0 MGD.
