Purposed Water District #5 Alternatives Mr. Pond said that based on the meeting last week where 3 alternatives were presented, had a conference call with EFC and DOH. Mr. Pond said that he had told the Town Board that he would go back and rework the parcel data and make sure the EDU ' s are accurate, look at the engineering in more detail, and answer Mr. Kerness ' s question about how many households that would be served. Mr. Pond has summarized all this and has presented a new packet of information to the Town Board. Mr. Pond said basically we have not learned any new, we are up against a comptroller limit of $613 for EDU, up against a project capital cost limit of $ 10 million, and the alternative C concept with the revisions as discussed plus a couple more he will enlighten the Board on, meets the requirements as far as funding is concerned. Mr. Pond said that in the packet you have a map, which is the 2007 Tompkins County GIS data. The shaded in blue is Water District #3 , shaded in white is potential service area for District #5 . Mr. Pond said that one significant addition is Wilkins Road be included because for engineering they need to go up Wilkins because they needed additional hydraulic to serve upper end with the higher elevation and needed to make that connection with District #3 . It also lets you have more areas to move water through the district. Also as previously discussed it brings the water line to the Town of Ithaca line on Rt. 89 and restored the area originally in District #5 and no more water lines west of Searsburg Road. Mr. Pond said that this is just a preliminary boundary map which can be revised but the next step would be to look towards doing the MPR. Mr. Pond said all cost have been updated and included in the packet. The Board reviewed, asked questions and discussed items with Mr. Pond. * * For the full discussions the tapes are available in the Clerk ' s office along with the Map and packet of information. Hearing no further business the meeting was adjourned . Respectfully submitted, Marsha L. Georgia Ulysses Town Clerk MLG: mlg
