Coronavirus/COVID-19 & Canadice Town Operations
As the Town begins phasing back into normal operations. The Town Hall will continue to remain closed to the general public. Employees and appointed & elected officials will resume normal work hours. They will continue to respond to phone calls, voicemail and e-mail. Office hours, phone and e-mail addresses are available in the department listings under the "Government" pull down menu above. A dropbox is located to the left of the main entrance to the Town Hall where correspondence, checks and other documents may be left.
Physical contact with residents at the Town Hall will continue to be by appointment, by phone, or by e-mail. All contact will follow the CDC guidelines for social distancing, requiring a mask if distance can't be maintained (employees and visitors) and disinfection of surfaces after people leave.
Town meetings that are open to the general public will continue using the Zoom on-line meeting application. In person attendance is still not allowed. Links to instructions for attending each upcoming meeting by the general public will be posted in advance below (on the Town's home page).
Water Project
There have been some impacts on the project related to Coronavirus/COVID-19.
As of July 27, 2020 the system has obtained NYS Department of Health approval for service. Location specific letters stating "water service now available" have been mailed to every property owner in the water district. A general sample of that letter, including instructions for what to do next, is available at this link.
See below for additional project details.

Honeoye Lake Aquatic Vegetation Management Program
The program is winding down for the 2020 season. The team is working half days through Thursday, 9/24 with services limited to shoreline pickup of raked plants. Requests for shoreline pickup in 2020 far exceeded any year since the shoreline program was introduced. Plant growth in Honeoye Lake was especially robust, likely in response to increased water clarity (deeper sunlight penetration in the lake leads to more plant growth).
The crew is working through the final shoreline pickup requests. Several residents were advised that pickups last week would be their last for the 2020 season so that we can accommodate as many people around the lake as possible.
Please contact betsy.landre@co.ontario.ny.us OR infoweeds@co.ontario.ny.us for information or to add your property to the list for final pickups by 9/21. The crew will do everything we can to accommodate you within the constraints of the reduced schedule and changing weather (including strong winds which can impede barge navigation).
Special thanks go to the many residents who raked up plants and even helped load them onto the barge or the back of the harvester for removal from the lake! All plant debris was taken to a Naples farm or to local gardeners for composting and soil enrichment. The crew’s task was tall this year. Your help and good nature are appreciated.

The system is fully operational, NYS Department of Health approval for service has been obtained and property owners are now able to install service connections.
Location specific letters stating "water service now available" have been mailed to every property owner in the water district. A general sample of that letter, including instructions for what to do next, is available at this link.
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. Revisions have been made to the spec. so make sure that your installer is working from the latest version, dated 6/28/19.
Site restorations (driveway, sidewalk and lawn repairs), weather permitting, are nearly complete.
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). Due to the continuing delays for start-up, the deadline for signing up for service at a reduced cost of $100 has been extended until December 31, 2020. NOTE: Completion dates that were originally included in the Service Sign-up Instructions have been revised.
Residents have also asked about the meter pit requirement for the project. Meter pits are addressed in a mailing to residents, in the install spec, and on the Questions & Answers web page. Even if you heat your dwelling in the winter, if your dwelling is not on a full basement where the meter can be installed without risk of freezing then a meter pit is required.
A page with Construction Notes, including contact information for the on-site Resident Engineer, is on the project home page.
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. Full information is available through links at the Cost & Financing page.
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.
