The straight answer to the question half the Valley is asking: not in writing. The village posted Tuesday that the water main tests came back passed, the county Health Department then approved putting the second supply back in service, and the village did it. That closes the pipes side of this story after three weeks. What never happened is a written lift of the conservation ask from Friday, September 4, and the village has posted nothing new since Tuesday.
So here is the honest read. Drinking, cooking and baths: fully approved, the supply is back. Outdoor watering is the piece with a gap in the paper trail. If your lawn has been waiting three weeks, one call to the village clerk settles it today; otherwise give it a few more days and keep an eye on the village's news flash page. When the village posts a formal all-clear, that leads Monday's issue.
Rosh Hashanah. The district's athletics page marks September 11 and 12 for the holiday, so the first week runs Wednesday and Thursday and stops there, with classes back Monday. One thing that does happen Thursday: the fall sports meeting for grades 7 and 8, after school from 2:35 to 3:45. Weekend game times live on the Pawling Tigers athletic calendar, so check it before you drive anywhere.
The club stacked four nights. Tonight, Thursday, APB, the Scottish post-punk trio from 1979, at 8:00 PM. Friday, The Discoteks, an eight-piece 70s disco tribute led by a former Trammps bassist, at 8:00 PM. Saturday, free brunch music from Jim Pospisil at noon, then Beyond the Wall: The Complete Pink Floyd Experience at 8:00 PM. Sunday closes the weekend with free brunch from Too Blue at noon. Reservations are online, and groups of 8 or more need a card deposit.
The map is quiet: no active National Weather Service alerts for New York State as of Wednesday morning beyond a rip current statement on the ocean-facing beaches, which does not reach us. The Harlem Line is on the regular weekday schedule, and no road or utility advisories are posted for Pawling, Dover Plains or Patterson. When the next storm or closure lands, it leads this section the same morning.
🤖 AI Corner — one plain-English AI thing, every issue
This week: let AI build your Saturday loop through the Valley.
Saturday has a noon brunch at Daryl's House, errands, and maybe one hour outside before the Pink Floyd show. Try: "Here is my Saturday: brunch in Pawling at noon, [your errands], and I want one outdoors hour. Build me a loop with drive times between Pawling, Dover Plains and Patterson that gets me back by 7." You get a route that fits the day you already have instead of a list of ideas you have to sequence yourself.
Free library classes teach this hands-on. Reply with questions; they become future AI Corners.
