The latest expectation is still that the system will be fully operational and property owners will be able to install service connections beginning in APRIL, 2020.
DO NOT INSTALL SERVICE CONNECTIONS UNTIL YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY NOTIFIED BY U.S. MAIL THAT THE SYSTEM IS READY AT YOUR LOCATION!
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.
The project contractor's progress as of Friday, 3/6/2020:
So far the project construction budget is on track and in good shape. Change orders have been minimal and not exceptionally costly.
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 signing up for service at a reduced cost of $100 has been extended until September 30, 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.

The project contractor's progress as of Friday, 3/6/2020:
- Tank has been flushed & sanitized (located up hill and just south of the CR36/Joe Bear Dr. intersection)
- Installation of the control shelter at the base of the access road and other appurtenances at the tank site are still underway.
- All of the water mains have been installed
- All of the system has been filled with water and successfully pressure tested.
- All of the curb stops (individual buried service shutoff valves) have been installed.
- All of the system remains to be flushed & sanitized; planned start for this is the week of 3/9/20.
- Minor modifications to fire hydrants remain to be completed but these will not delay system operation.
- Pump house installation (on the east side of CR36 just south of the Canadice-Richmond town line)
- Complete & fully functional.
- Expectation is that the entire system will be fully functional approximately March 15th but will not be operational until the system is flushed, sanitized and receives NYS Department of Health approval for operation. All of this takes about a month.
- Service installations by residents will only be possible after the system has been fully pressure tested, flushed, is fully operational and has been approved for use by the NYS Department of Health. This is expected to occur by approximately April 15, 2020.
- Site restorations (driveway, sidewalk and lawn repairs) are generally on hold until the winter weather breaks and will be completed by June 30th.
- Asphalt driveway restorations are complete.
- Non-asphalt driveway restorations are on hold but will be completed by June 30th.
- Some lawn and sidewalk restorations have been completed. Those that remain are on hold but will be completed by June 30th.
- For specific restoration issues and concerns please contact the project resident engineer for resolution.
- Lingering site restorations and any remaining construction "punch list" items should be complete by June 30, 2020.
