Please Watch for Door-to-Door Electricity Sales Scams

Please Beware: Several companies are trying to trick residents into signing up for electricity with them. THIS IS A SCAM. The Village of Newark Valley and our partners are NOT going door-to-door selling electricity, nor calling people at home. These companies are unscrupulous, and are misrepresenting their relationship with the Village.

The Village partnered with MEGA (Municipal Electric and Gas Alliance) on Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) and through a competitive selection process is offering electric supply from Constellation.  If you receive a phone call, a door-to-door sale or an additional letter in the mail it is NOT the CCA Program selected by the Village.

The Village and our partners worked together through the CCA Program to carefully select an option for you that is free from escalating prices, high termination fees and aggressive sales tactics.  Please call the Village or MEGA at 518-533-5399 if you have any questions.

If you feel that an energy services company has scammed you or to report a company that tried to scam you contact the New York State Public Service Commission via their Competitive Energy Hotline for complaints about Energy Service Companies: 1-888-697-7728 (8:30 am – 4pm)  

IMPORTANT: Never give your electricity account number to a door-to-door or telephone solicitor

The Village Office will be closed on Thursday July 4th AND Friday July 5th in observance of Independence Day!

We hope everyone has a safe and joyful holiday as we remember those that fought for our Independence and Freedom!

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!

“The Initiative sets forth a strategy for revitalization of the county’s community cores and local neighborhoods to meet the needs of its current and future residents. The process began with the selection of three communities that would serve as test-beds for planning purposes: Villages of Newark Valley, Owego and Waverly. The process resulted in a set of recommendations focused on opportunities for investments in targeted neighborhoods to reverse trends in deterioration, stabilize neighborhoods and undertake new construction as appropriate. The planning process can be used by other communities as a blueprint. The overall goal of this initiative is to strengthen community cores and create a quality mix of residential neighborhoods that will play a key role in attracting and retaining a quality workforce, create pathways to home ownership while also addressing the needs of the aging population, and increase property values.”
