VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS
REPORT OF THE ENGINEER - August 1977
SEWER LINES
Three hundred fifty feet of sewer line on Midway Road has been replaced to correct
infiltration and stoppage problems. The 10 -inch sewer main between The Parkway and
Midway Road has been replaced to correct infiltration and a stoppage problem of
Mr. Skinner. It was found that the Skinner lateral extended 6 inches Into the
Village sewer main, thus causing an obstruction. This was corrected before the
pipe was recovered. infiltration studies continue. Through smoking of the sani-
tary lines, it was found that a connection from the storm sewer existed near the
corner of White Park Road and The Parkway. This is scheduled for repair.
STREETS
The shoulder of Triphammer Road is scheduled to be finished as soon as a pugmili
plant mix can be obtained from The Cortland Asphalt Co. Pleasant Grove Road has
been sealed. Spray patching throughout the Village with an application c° stone
has been effective in repairing cracked pavement and low spots in the roadis. By
the use of the motorized street sweeper, we are able to collect the excess; stone
from the roads for reuse either for sewer pipe bedding or road shoulders.
Midway Road is in the process of being ditched and paving of this road should take
place within the next month.
FIRE HOUSE
The Engineer met with Trustees Randolph, Philbrlck, and Anderson and Fire Chief
George on the paving of the fire house parking lot and driveway. A plan was
devised, and permission is requested to put out for bid the installation of a
grate - covered trench in front of the fire house doors.
WATER
The Village has received Water Commission bills in a large amount. The bills for
inspection have been put to one side by Trustee Philbrick. The other bills for
repair on Village water lines are being reviewed, and a recommendation will be made
at the monthly meeting.
PARKS
The small Village park at the corner of The Parkway and White Park Place roads has
extensive undergrowth and small trees growing under some large, beautiful pine
trees. It is.my recommendation this underbrush and small trees be removed, leaving
only the large pines. The recommendation of the Village Forester is requested.
