HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION

Contamination of our environment is a very real threat through the improper disposal of household hazardous wastes.  Most treatment plants and leachfields are incapable of processing these chemicals.  Landfill disposal poses the same risks, and the result is the eventual contamination of our groundwater, upon which everyone is dependent.

Fire Department Receives $188,794.00 Grant Award

Fire Chief Michael Drake is pleased to announce that the New Hampton Fire Department has been officially notified of receiving an $188,794 grant through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program.  These grants are provided by the Department of Homeland Security to improve safety for firefighters and update facilities and resources.  Chief Drake said the grant monies will go toward firefighter personal protective equipment and training.  This will allow the fire department to replace old worn out emergency response gear some of which is more than 10 years old and also allow us to pay firefighters to attend Certified Firefighter Level I and II training courses.  These are minimum standards set forth by the National Fire Protection Association to ensure firefighters are trained to a specific level.
