TO: Honorable Frederick G. Marcham, Mayor
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Cayuga heights
Bids for the replaceme=nt' of the shingle roof on the Fire Siation are
schedvl..ri for opening on f']nrtey, October 17 and wi l l be available for
the Hoard Meeting that day.
WATER LINES
A complaint has been received from a resident on N. Sunsnt Drive that
his water pressure was up to 130 pounds and that it caused problems
with his appliances. He reeuested that the Village correct this situation.
A discussion with the Water Commission on their proposed work on the
Village of Cayuga Heights water systems indicated a total cost, if all
work done, of between $100,000 and $200,000. It is not clear that all the
work listed by the Commission is the responsibility of the Village and
obviously, the Village can�nt• afford at this time that kind of an expendl-
ture. It is the recommendation of the Engineer that replacement of
divisional valves be done ar. it is necessary, to have these valves in
proper operation before other work can be done.on the water lines. At
present, there are three broken valves that need to he replacod as they
are broken In the off position causing six dead ends in our water lines.
I would also recommend that two other divisional valves be replaced, making
a total of five valves if needed at a cost for replacement of $600.00 -
a total cost of $5,000 for next year's budget. There are certain divisional
valves between the Villa.7e of Cayuga Heights and City of Ithaca that are
believed by the Commission to he Ieakinrl. It is the opinion of the Village
Engineer that thr.!-.e. valves , hould hevo been installed In proper onorating
condition as of the time :f tie. cutoff of the city to the Ftolton Point
water and that correction 1; thri responsibility of the Commission.
SEWER PLANT
in the correction of some flood damage at the Sewer Plant, it was necessary
to hire a contactor wish a full track front end loader as tho Village
does not have and coutu nut horrow such a piece of equipment. Working with
the Villaga work force this piece rf equipment was able to complete the re-
grading necese.'ny ai lho pi.nnf.
