Enhancing Quality of Life

August 5, 2015 by The Inside Press

Department of Public Works

Welcome to New Castle! Working for the Town of New Castle has been very gerryinteresting, challenging at times, but overall very rewarding. For over 30 years, I have had the pleasure of working with a couple of dozen elected officials who have been very professional and supportive by providing the necessary funds to maintain the quality of life in Town. For example, over 20 years ago, several consecutive town boards enabled us to build our Award Winning, State of the Art Millwood Water Treatment Plant. This provides our residents with the best quality water in New York State.

Gerry Moerschell, Commissioner, Department of Public Works morschel@mynewcastle.org

The Town of New Castle’s Department of Public Works maintains the Town’s infrastructure, including coordinating projects with state and county agencies, ensuring the quality of the water you drink, maintaining over one hundred miles of roads, and operating a very successful recycling center. The Public Works Department is comprised of the following units:

• Administration

• Building and Maintenance

• Water

• Highway

• Refuse

• Mechanics

The mission of the “Take it or Leave it Shop” is to effect and encourage the re-use of items. The shop is open in the train station parking lot (behind the gas station) on Saturdays from May through November from 9 a.m. to noon.

Examples of acceptable items that are functioning, clean, and gently used are: small, clean and functioning appliances, cookware, furniture (in good condition), kitchenware, dishes and glassware (in good condition), sports equipment, bicycles, toys, games, baby equipment, children’s picture books, ornaments, home repair and gardening tools.
