History

The Town of Halfmoon, located in Saratoga County, New York has an existing municipal water system consisting of: The Town of Halfmoon Consolidate Water District and Water District #1. The Town's water system currently serves over 15,000 residents with 6,300 accounts in the Town of Halfmoon. 

The Town of Halfmoon is bordered by: the Town of Stillwater and the City of Mechanicville to the north; the Hudson River to the east; the Mohawk River and the Town of Waterford to the south; and Interstate Highway 87 (i.e., the Northway) and the Town of Clifton Park to the west. Development of the Town's water system generally began in the southwesterly part of the Town, and has rapidly expanded both north along the Northway corridor and east across the southern border of the Town. 

Water Districts No.1 and 3 were created in the 1970's; 

Water Improvement Area No.1 and Water Districts No.4 and 5 were created in the 1980's; and Water Districts No. 2,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 14 and the extensions were created in the 1990's; Water Districts No.12 and 15 completed in 2001. 

In 2001 the Town of Halfmoon consolidated all districts into one with three zones. In 2012 all three zones became one zone. 

The development of the Town's water system over the past thirty years was due primarily to the inadequate individual well supplies in the Town, as well as the growth the Town experienced in response to the construction of the Northway. The need for an adequate, reliable, and dependable water source to serve the existing water service areas is of paramount importance to the Town of Halfmoon.
