Recreation
The Great Northern Catskill Mountains form the backdrop for year-round activities in our lovely valley town.
The hamlets of Purling, Round Top, and Acra offer spectacular hiking, hunting, and fishing in the pristine streams that flow the Catskill Creek, and then to the Hudson River.
Great road and mountain biking opportunities abound at our Town Loop and Rail Trail.
Two world-class ski resorts are just up the mountain in Windham and Hunter.
Infrastructure
The town maintains a water distribution system that serves the hamlet of Cairo from two wells registered with the New York State Water Authority. The primary well is located within the Town Park and pumps an average of 90,000 gallons per day (GPD) with a capacity of 240,000 GPD. The water district encompasses 380 parcels covering 606 acres. Approximately 300 service connections deliver water to a population of 725. The secondary well serves as an emergency back-up source for continuity of service during a temporary disruption of the main well. Expansion is underway with the testing of new well sites, planning for an additional pressure tank and wider system reach.
The Cairo Collection and Treatment system was built in 1999, and serves 286 properties over 317 acres in the hamlet of Cairo. A waste water treatment system designed to process up to 89,000 GPD of grey water from homes and businesses, normally operates at less than 90% capacity, with enough headroom to accommodate periods of high precipitation. The town performs regular maintenance of collection lines and pump stations, displaying a willingness to accommodate expansion through new residential & commercial connections.
