In Ulysses, there are county and state roads as well as town roads. They are all maintained by their respective keepers. For details on which belongs to whom, view this map:http://www.tompkinscountyny.gov/files2/gis/maps/pdfs/CoHwyMaps /CoHwyMapColor.pdf. ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT (For Ulysses Water District 3 users) Ulysses Water District 3 residents receive water from Bolton Point, via the Town of Ithaca.

HABs pose a threat to Cayuga Lake. They can produce toxins that lead to sickness and even death in people and pets, and they have the potential to undermine Cayuga Lake as a source of drinking water and a desirable place to live or spend a vacation. As a "HABs Harrier", you would play a key role in tracking, understanding, and ultimately managing this emerging threat in our region. Lakeshore homeowners, boaters and anglers are specifically encouraged to attend a 2 hour training in June. For more information, location and dates email info@communityscience.org or programs@cayugalake.org. VILLAGE OF TRUMANSBURG: Community Yard Sale- Sat., 5/19 at 8am.

NEW YORK STATE: Dealing with Problem Wildlife Encounters with wildlife have become more numerous as a result of urban growth into animals' natural habitat. Seeing animals in the woods can be fun, but having a skunk under the porch or a woodchuck digging up your yard is not. DEC has information available on its website to help landowners find out how to prevent and control wildlife conflicts. There, you will find nuisance wildlife information including: Tips to reduce conflicts with wildlife Finding a licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator near you Town of Ulysses Updates - Google Groups https://groups.google.com/forum/print/msg/town-of-ulysses/Z_7WGHi_j... 2 of 3 8/9/2018, 11:23 AM Identifying permits or licenses needed to remove nuisance wildlife on your own If you encounter wildlife acting sick or abnormal, leave the area. Contact the local Environmental Conservation Officer at 753-3095. Encounters between people and wildlife with rabies or distemper are rare, but if there is physical contact between the animal and you or your pet such as a bite or scratch, contact your doctor or vet and the local county health department to report it. Visit https://www.dec.ny.gov/animals /89522.html.
