Quick Link: Water District #1 Project Home Page - Updated on Wednesday, 1/23/2019.
The REVISED (yet again) plan is to enable property owners to install service connections beginning in the summer of 2019.
DO NOT INSTALL SERVICE CONNECTIONS UNTIL YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY NOTIFIED BY U.S. MAIL THAT THE SYSTEM IS READY AT YOUR LOCATION!
For a variety of reasons construction is moving much slower than expected. The schedule has become even less predictable through the fall and winter seasons. Construction is continuing through the winter as conditions permit.
The project contractor's progress to date:
On Thursday, July 26, 2018 instructions for service sign-up were mailed to water district residents who have dwellings on their property that are eligible for service. Service sign-up is ongoing (there is no deadline). NOTE: Completion dates that were originally included in the Service Sign-up Instructions have been revised.
Detailed specifications for service connections are available at the Town Hall or at this link. This information must be supplied to the private contractors that property owners select to install their service connections.
A page with Construction Notes, including contact information for the on-site Resident Engineer, has been added to the project home page.
Key dates for residents
The project overview (pdf) was updated on January 30, 2018 by the project engineering firm, LaBella Associates. Revised estimated project costs and financing are summarized on the project's Costs & Financing page.
The Costs & Financing page also includes the Assessor's list of all properties that are in the water district and the number of benefit units that are allocated against each property in order to recover the capital debt costs for the project. There was a public hearing at the Town Hall at 7:30 pm on October 8, 2018 on this subject. Full information is available through links at the Cost & Financing page.
In August of 2017 each property owner in the water district was supplied with specific information through the U.S. Mail on how to indicate their preferred location for their connection to the water main (curb stop location). If property owners did not supply this information then the Resident Engineer will attempt to contact the property owner as construction nears the property. If still unable to contact the property owner then the Resident Engineer and the Project Contractor will independently make a determination for the location of the curb stop.
Details on how to sign up for service were mailed on July 26, 2018. This information is mailed to the ownership address of record on each property, as recorded by the Ontario County Real Property office. Refer to the Questions & Answers page for more information, including contact information for further inquiries.
Detailed specifications for service connections were made available on July 27, 2018.
Revised project plan drawings were released by LaBella as part of the bid package. Paper copies of the drawings are available for review at the Town Hall. They are also available as PDF's here on this website.
Attempts by the Canadice Town Board to interest National Fuel Gas (NFG) in providing natural gas distribution in conjunction with this project have been unsuccessful. The latest communication with NFG in June, 2017 indicates that the service extension from the Canadice-Richmond town line to Canadice is no longer under active consideration.
