The Village of New York Mills is thrilled to introduce TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications and easily receive specific information.
The Village will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on 12/3/25. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the Village of New York Mills initiating the service. You can choose to opt-out at any time by texting STOP.
If you don’t receive the initial message, you can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword “NY MILLS” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notifications for change in garbage pickup, snow emergencies, etc.
The Village’s use of this technology is another example of how our community enhances resident services by implementing 21st-century solutions. We’re excited about this new way of communicating with residents and look forward to sharing important city notifications. Other governmental entities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed, stay ahead.
Sincerely,
Mayor Ernie Talerico
