I would like to update the residents of Boonville on the Summit Street Bridge.
The Village was awarded a Bridge NY grant to replace the Summit Street Bridge shortly before the village sweeper broke through the blacktop in April. When the accident happened we notified the engineers and Oneida County and the bridge project was moved to the top of the list for re-construction, however, there are many details to be researched/planned/drawn before construction can begin. We have been advised that the bridge is scheduled for construction next summer, but it could possibly be 2024. The grant is being administered by Oneida County with an estimated project cost of $971,000.00.
We’ve looked at length for temporary fixes to open Summit Street but since the initial sink hole was discovered, the bridge has deteriorated significantly, and we have been unable to find a solution that would prove 100% safe.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this caused, however, safety comes first.
Please be advised that the Village of Boonville DPW will be picking up curbside lawn clippings and yard waste on Mondays only from April 15 - November 15, with a special pick up the 2nd Tuesday in January for holiday green waste.

The Lead Poisoning Prevention Campaign
Boonville Environmental Conservation Council is pleased to announce a campaign to distribute lead poisoning prevention packets in the Village of Boonville through a partnership with the Lead-Free Mohawk Valley Coalition and the Oneida County Health Department.
In recent years, Oneida County has had one of the highest levels of childhood lead poisoning in New York State. Experts say children can be exposed to lead through a variety of sources, including contaminated soil or water; imported toys, pottery or cosmetics; and household paint manufactured before 1978. Long-term lead exposure can result in developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavior issues, with lifelong health and financial consequences.
“The project’s focus is to make Boonville residents aware of potential lead hazards in their homes and provide information that can help prevent children from becoming poisoned.” said Dr. Mark Warfel, Lead-Free MV Coalition Chairperson.
Conservation Council members will be mailing info to area residents in November. NO sales are involved!
To learn more about what you can do to prevent lead poisoning contact the Oneida County Health Department by phone at 315-798-5842, online:
