KB)Dear MaYort
As a follow-up to the meeting that you and I had with the Town and vil-lage of Lansrng' I
have altached a copy of a letter from the rown of Lir-t"i-,-tq which requests the village of
Cayuga Heights ao-lifo.ute additio,-tuf u"*"r units to e*pit'O the seivice area of the Warren
Road Sewer District '
rn 2009, the Town did an engineering study of the existing/potential properties in the
warren Road area that could be hooked up to . .,.i, u"*"t *ui"' They determine that they
woufd need 424 sewer units to supply servj-ce :I:! " "?9 V""t-: Therefore' the Village
entered into an agreement with th-e Town to provide 424 sewer units to the Warren Road
Sewer District.
ShortlyaftertheTovuninstalledthenewSewermaininWarrenRoad,propertyownerswho
were not included in the orlginal estimate, began-to express tlrgir dlsiie to be connected'
NowtheTownbelievesthatthereisaneedroranuooiti.o''ul400Sewerunits(mostly
apartments) for area:; that are atready served by the new sewer maln'
In the meetang on 3/1)/I2, with new Town supervisor Kathy Mllfer and long-time Mayor Don
Hartill, we discusserl how the Town of Lansinq itt" a relltionship with the Village of
Lansing to use;;;i, sewer pipes to send ror. ".*uqe to the.Village of cayuga Heights
WWTP. Therefore, dny agreement ir-'tl we make witr' tire make with the town of Lansing must
also be agree<J upon loy the vi-r1a;;-"; Lansing,. Therefore, the Town's request will need the
Village of cayuga Heights_to agi6e to treat ttre-sewaqe from the additionar properties' and
the Village of Lansing will neeJ-io upptove the nr" 6f their pipes to transport the Town's
sewage to the WWTP'
since we are not sure about the impact of capacity at the.TTTP and the VilJ-age of Lansing
is not sure about the capacity oi !t-r"it pipes, ltuv"t Hartifl,proposed an interim sorutlon
until all of the details can be worked olt-' Ht ''-'qq""ted that we allow the Town of expand
the servrce area to incfude aooiliorii ptop.rties, -n,-tt not grant any additional units
untilfurtherresear.chcanbeoone.rtriswlrralfowtheTowntoaflocatesewerunitsto
anyone in the expancted- district]"f''t not u*"t"o'lit oiiqi"" L 424 units until we can have a
belter picture of thLe long term ampact '
one of Lhe reasons that it makes sense to delay. !h9 orantiis.-:f additlonal units to the
Town, is because we have changed the basis on which a sewer unit is calculated frorn single
ia*iiy units to water meter consumptlon'
Therefore'Irecommendthatweagre?.o?1lol'theTowntoexpandtheserviceareaofthe
warren Road liewer D:Lstrict, with atlocation of additional units to be subject to further
consideration of wwl;P capacltY'
I wifl- make a reque,st for a resolution at the Trustee meeting on 4/16/12 (tonight) to
authori-ze the Mayor to sign ""-lgr".*""t (to be reviewed by counsel) as discussed above'
