VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS
REPORT OF ENGINEER - July 1978
STREETS
The culvert on Cayuga Heights Road, Just north of Devon Road, was replaced by
a 4 -foot diameter, heavy gaugo sleel pipe Instead of rebuilding the concrete
box culvert. A concrete head wall was placed on the upstream side of the new
culvert pipe, and a built -up dry wall with very heavy stones was placed on the
downstream side.
Spray patching is in process in the Village. In answer to a complaint last year
about this method of road paving, we are running our automatic street broom as
soon as possible after the paving to remove potentially hazardous excess gravel
from the travelled right of way. An estimated $2000 will be spent for asphalt
and stone for this type of patching.
A paving schedule for this year:. Work Is expected to start in
the latter part of July, depending on how soon we can obtain the motor paver
from our material supplier. A new motor paver surface will be put on East Upland
Road from Triphammer to Hanshaw and also on Randolph and Warwick Roads. A sealer
coat will be put on Wyckoff Road and Oak HIII Road and on Midway, Kiinewoods, and
Forest Drive where motor paver mix had been placed last year. A total estimated
$17,500 will be spent for materials for motor paver and sealer work this year.
An inspection of a stream under - cutting on Remington Road across the street from
• 207 Remington Road was investigated with Trustee Philbrick. A wall to control
erosion and provide support for the overhang is required. It is anticipated that
a stone face will be used for part of the construction and to give acceptable
appearance to the adjacent property.
SIDEWALKS
A request has been received from Cornell University asking us who is responsible
for sidewalk repair at their property at the corner of Oak Hill Road and Trip-
hammer Road.
SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
By experimentation and by the use of a used 1,000- gallon tank we had at the
Village store yard, our operator has been able to increase the amount of solids
removal from our effluent to 90% with Just the use of our trickling filters and
to 99% in the effluent with the use of our tertiary treatment. State requlrsmentt
is for 85% removal after the effluent comes out of our tertiary treatment. We
are getting excellent results from our treatment process at this point.
