STREAM MAINTENANCE
The County has requested applications for 1990 Preventive Maintenance
matching funds. As there is no evident stream problem in the Village at this
time, no application will be made.
STREETS
The current budget 1989 -90 calls for grading and shoulder work to be done
on Cayuga Heights Road from West Upland Road to the north Village line. This
will mean that extensive trimming, grading, removal of some retaining walls
and trees that are in the road right -of -way but considered by abutting property
owners to be theirs, will have to be done. There will be at least as much dis-
ruption and voiced opinions and complaints as was received from the construction
of the Hanshaw Road sidewalk. The road right -of -way line will be staked out and
abutting property owhers will be notified before work starts. Does the Board
wish to have a publie hearing or any other notification before the project
begins?
SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
March operation reports are not yet available. The new discharge meter is
in place, has been calibrated, and indicated a Village of Lansing flow through
the railroad trunk line of 480,000 gallons per day at a time when the total
flow through the plant was 1.8 MGD.
SEWER LINES
Sewer line flows at twelve different points in the Village are being checked
for wet and dry weather flows to determine areas where there might be infiltra-
tion of storm or ground water. Sewer lines and manholes in open land areas and
near streams were inspected for possible entry of storm water.
REFUSE COLLECTION
The Village office continues to get calls on Village policy. The attached
information sheet should be sent to property owners at the time of tax billing
or before, and also submitted to the Village Voices for publication. Suggestions
as to how to make this information available and clear to the residents is
welcome.
