Editing Waterville, New York (section)

=== Community development and renewal ===
Recent infrastructure development has included a new Municipal Hall (2002), and state-of-the-art Waterville Public Library with formal gardens (2006) and 19&nbsp;kW photovoltaic solar array (2009) and croquet lawn (2017).  From 2005 to 2006, the Village underwent major thoroughfare reconstruction under the auspices of the New York State Department of Transportation. The project included new sidewalks, decorative red brick paving, granite curbing and newly planted trees along Main Street; Victorian street lamps line Main Street and Sanger Avenue (NYS Rt. 12).  Donated by the Rotary Club of Waterville, a decorative town clock adorns the corner of Main Street and White Street in the center of the Village . Upgraded sewer lines have helped curb pollution of the Waterville Creek.  In 2009–10, funded by private donations, a Victorian-era bandstand was erected in the Village Park.  The Barton-Brown Observatory, a joint venture of the Waterville Public Library and Mohawk Valley Astronomical Society, opened in 2012 on the grounds of the Library.  The Observatory houses two large, research grade telescopes and hosts monthly stargazing events open to the public.
