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.
