On July 10 a very significant rain event caused damage to several areas in the Town of Patterson. Putnam County and the Town of Patterson are actively pursuing funding to help residents and businesses with the cost of repairs. To date the funding has not been approved, but it is important for everyone affected to thoroughly document and report their damage.

The link below provides the public with an online platform for individuals to self-report damage to their home or business as the state continues to collect information for potential individual assistance through FEMA, SBA, or the State.

Damage Self-Reporting Tool: Homes & Businesses

I am pleased to announce that the Town Board on June 14, 2023 approved re-opening Patterson Town Hall to the public. Individuals conducting business within the various departments will be permitted in the building to visit that department, based on the availability of staff. ~ Appointments are encouraged ~

These calls are not from NYSEG and are an attempt to scam residents and businesses.

Some precautions to take to avoid falling victim to a scam:

• Always type NYSEG’s Web address when making an online payment at nyseg.com. Do not rely on email links. While at nyseg.com, you can also check your account balance and any past-due amount status.
• When making a payment by phone, always ensure that you are dialing NYSEG phone numbers: 1-800-572-1111 (customer service); 1-888-315-1755 (payment arrangements) or 1-800-600-2275 (self-service line). You can also check your account status by phone.
• Do not make any payments over the phone to anyone who has contacted you or asked you to dial a different number.
• Never provide your Social Security number, credit card number or bank information to anyone requesting it (over the phone or in person) unless you initiated the contact and feel confident that the transaction is legitimate.
• NYSEG does not ask customers to purchase debit cards (like Green Dot cards) to make payments.
• If you have fallen victim to a scam, immediately contact the Federal Trade Commission and your local police.
