Municipal Services
What does this measure?
This indicator measures the specific municipal services—such as water, sewer, garbage, and recycling—that each municipality in Orange County provides to its residents. It also notes whether these services are handled directly by the municipality or through a private company.
Summary Statement
The data reveals that there are a variety of methods by which services are provided across Orange County. Some municipalities, like the Town of Blooming Grove and the Town of Chester, provide services directly or through a town-level contract. Other communities, such as Highland Falls and Woodbury, utilize a mix of public and private haulers. This variation highlights the decentralized nature of local service provision in the county.
