Expanded Spectrum/Charter TV, Internet & Telephone Service in Canadice:
Contractors working for Spectrum/Charter have been installing fiberoptic cable and related equipment to provide service to most of the town that doesn't already have Spectrum/Charter service. It is slated to be operational by the end of the year. The NY Public Service Comission approved a merger between Charter Communications, Inc. and Time Warner Cable in January 2016 which required Charter to extend its network to pass an additional 145,000 homes and businesses across the State by 2020. Charter, now doing business as Spectrum, has launched a web portal to provide more information related to the required build. Visit www.bldlkup.com to learn if your specific address is included in Spectrum's New York State broadband expansion plan.

The expectation is that the system will be fully operational and property owners will be able to install service connections beginning in the fall of 2019.
DO NOT INSTALL SERVICE CONNECTIONS UNTIL YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY NOTIFIED BY U.S. MAIL THAT THE SYSTEM IS READY AT YOUR LOCATION! The installation of curb stops is underway. Just because there may be a curb stop installed at your property does NOT mean that it is ready for you to connect to it.
When the time comes, 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. Recent revisions have been made to the spec. so make sure that your installer is working from the latest version, dated 6/28/19.
The project contractor's progress as of 6/28/2019:
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). The deadline for siging up for service at a reduced cost of $100 has been extended until December 31, 2019. NOTE: Completion dates that were originally included in the Service Sign-up Instructions have been revised.
Residents have asked "Why is the contractor digging up my property twice?". An answer to this question has been added to the Questions & Answers web page.
Residents have also asked about the meter pit requirement for the project. Meter pits are addressed in a mailing to residents 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. 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.
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.

- Construction surveys and stake outs - underway/ongoing
- PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH THE STAKES and PAINT MARKINGS!!! DO NOT DISTURB THEM!!!
- Tank site preparation and tank installation; located up hill and just south of the CR36/Joe Bear Dr. intersection

- Limited functional site restorations (lawn & driveway repairs) are underway with full restorations expected by late spring 2020
- Note; There may be considerable settling & shifting of material with the interim restorations. If this presents a problem please contact the project resident engineer for resolution.
