BTI INFORMATION AND UPDATE:
Stream treatments with BTI to control black fly larvae will begin in mid March, standing water treatments for mosquitoes in mid April. If you are a property owner within the treatment area that has streams or standing water on your property and never received a permission form please contact Andrea Malik at [email protected]. Especially new property owners; I send out permission letters to new property owners before each season begins. We do the best we can but errors sometimes occur. Often there is a lag from when a property is transferred to when the maps at Real Property are updated. The BTI crew are very respectful of landowners property and carry extra permission forms with them just in case. I'm hoping posting the information here will help keep everyone informed.

The Town of Colton, established in 1843, is, geographically, one of the largest towns in New York State. Within the southeast part of St. Lawrence County is the Town of Colton, straddling the boundary of the Adirondack Park. From the two hamlets of Colton and South Colton the town rises to meet the beautiful and scenic wilds of the Adirondacks.
The town is blessed with natural resources and scenic beauty, including the Raquette River which flows from the southern to the northern end on its way to the St. Lawrence River. Seven lakes have been formed by dams along the river, providing recreation for boaters and anglers as well as power generation to help support all of New York. And hikers, campers, snowmobilers and others enjoy the many miles of trails maintained by public and private entities throughout town all seasons of the year.
With strong civic pride, an excellent school, a range of municipal facilities plus well-maintained public highways providing access to nearby business , shopping and education centers it is no wonder that Colton is a great place to live, work and play.
