Next steps for Red Hook, NY

Look up your address in Red Hook Village's service line inventory. If it says lead, galvanized or unknown, test your tap. If your own line is lead, replacing the private side runs about $1,200-$12,300 (EPA average about $4,700). Ask Red Hook Village whether it covers that cost before hiring anyone - many utilities now do.
