Minutes of discussion for future water dist . on Snyder Hill Road . Supv Cotterill stated that the town ' s main objective of the town was to get information from Lozier Engineers as to what was possible for an extension of a water line on Snyder Hill Rd , since the residents did sign a petition for the possibility of one . Mr Vern Gambrell presented the Town Board with a letter stating the reasons for the extension of a water line . He stated that the water table is going down and during the supper residents along Snyder Hill do run out of water . He felt that the expenditure was justifiable and would like the town to consider the extension . -Wanted to know since the residents of Snyder Hill requested the water dist , would the Town of Ithaca approve the extension ? Supv Cotterill stated that the Town of Ithaca would have no authority to stop them . The Town of Dryden is part owner in the Bolton Point Water System , which gives the town equal voting rights to the water system . • Mr Gambrell stated that it concerns them because interest rates are going up and presently there is funding available from FMHA to expand facilities such as this water dist . Maybe 5 years from now there will not be any grants available like this . Also , the cost of construction will be going up . He felt all the residents will benefit by the extension . Supv Cotterill stated that Bolton Point is running a very tight budget at the present time and any expansion would help them . There were 2 residents opposed to the water extension . -Wanted to know if a more accurate figure could be required before there was a committment to the line extension . Supv Cotterill stated that a detailed layout by the engineers with a much more accurate figure would be required . This meeting is just a discussion to get the residents input as to whether or not they would like a water dist . The Town has paid for this 1st survey that has been done as a starting point and will proceed further if the residents agree to go further . Supv Cotterill stated that the Town Board will find out the proper procedures for forming a water dist . and felt that 3 or 4 residents should form a group to represent the residents of Snyder Hill to meet with the Town Board and Town Attorney to get started . Clm Webb stated that the town is actually an agent and is netural as far at the dist . is concerned . The residents will be paying for the installation and water except for the engineering cost . Supv Cotterill said that public hearings will be held before anything will become definite . Closed discussion at 7 : 55PM • PUBLIC HEARING CROSS- CONNECTION CONTROL ORDINANCE May 8 , 1979 Minutes of the public hearing commencing at 7 : 55PM Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper for the purpose of considering an ordinance for Cross- Connection Control for all water users in the Town of Dryden who purchase water from the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission . The purpose of the regulations contained in said ordinance is to safe guard potable water supplies by preventing back flow into the public water system . RESOLUTION # 83 LOCAL ORDINANCE FOR CROSS -CONNECTION CONTROL Clm Metzger offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption . RESOLVED , that this Town Board adopt the following Cross - Connection Control Ordinance : • ARTICLE 1 . PURPOSE The purpose of these regulations is to safeguard potable water supplies by preventing backflow into public water systems , The regulations are to be reasonably interpreted . It is the intent of these regulations to recognize that there are varying degrees of hazard and to apply the principle that the degree of protection should be commensurate with the degree of hazard . ARTICLE 2 . DEFINITIONS 1 . Cross-Connections . The term " cross - connection" as used in these regulations means any unprotected connection between any part of a water system used or intended to supply water for drinking purposes and any source or system containing water or substance that is not or cannot be approved as equally safe , wholesome , and potable for human consumption . 2 . Approved water supply . The term " approved water supply" means any water supply approved by the New York State Department of Health . 320 DEFINITIONS - cont 3 . Auxiliary Supply . The term " auxiliary supply" means any water supply on or available to the premises other than the approved public water supply . 4 . Vacuum Breaker - Nonpressure type . A vacuum breaker which is designed so as not to be subjected to static line pressure . 5 . Vacuum Breaker - Pressure Type . A vacuum breaker designed to operate under conditions of static line pressure . 6 . Barometric Loop . A loop of pipe raising approximately 35 feet at its topmost point , above the highest fixture it supplies . 7 . Approved Check Valve . The term " approved check valve" means a check valve that seats readily and completely . It must be carefully machined to have free moving parts and assured watertightness . The face of the closure element and valve seat must be bronze , composition , or other non- corrodible material which will seat tightly under all prevailing conditions of field use . Pins and bushings shall be bronze or other non- corridible , non- sticking material , machined for easy , dependable operation . The closure element , e . g . , clapper , shall be internally weighted or otherwise internally equipped to promote rapid and positive closure 1111 in all sizes where this feature is obtainable . 8 . Approved Double Check Valve Assembly . The term " approved double check valve assembly" means an assembly of at least two independently acting check valves , including tightly closing shutoff valves on each side of the check valve assembly and suitable leak- detector drains plus connections available for testing the watertightness of each check valve . This device must be approved as a complete assembly . 9 . Approved Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Prevention Device . The term " approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device" means a device incorporating two or more check valves and an automatically operating differential relief valve located between the two checks , two shutoff valves , and equipped with necessary appurtenances for testing . The device shall operate to maintain the pressure in the zone between the two check valves , less than the pressure on the public water supply side of the device . At cessation of normal flow , the pressure between check valves shall be less than the supply pressure . In case of leakage of either check valve , the differ- ential relief valve shall operate to maintain this reduced pressure by discharging to the atmosphere . When the inlet pressure is two pounds per square inch or less , the relief valve shall open to the atmosphere , thereby providing an air gap in the device . To be approved , these devices must be readily accessible for maintenance and testing anMinstalled in a . location where no part of the valve will be submerged . The enclosure must be self -draining , so that the large amount of water which the relief valve may vent will be disposed of reliably without sub- mergance of the relief valve . This device must also be approved as a complete assembly . 10 . Air- Gap Separation . The term " air gap separation" means a physical break between a supply pipe and a receiving vessel . The air gap shall be at least double the diameter of the supply pipe , measured vertically above the top rim of the vessel , in no case less than one inch . 11 . Water Supervisor . The term "water supervisor " means the consumer or a person on the premises charged with the responsibility of complete knowledge and understanding of the water supply piping within the premises and for maintaining the consumer ' s water system free from cross- connections and other sanitary defects , as required by regulations and laws . 12 . Certified Backflow Prevention ±; Deviee Tester - is a person who is examined annually by the water purveyor , and found competent for the testing of backflow prevention devices . He shall be provided with an appropriate identification card which must be renewed annually . Failure to perform his duties competently and consciensciously will result in prompt withdrawal of his certification . . ARTICLE 3 PROTECTION OF PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM AT SERVICE CONNECTION Section I . Where Protection is Required . • 1 . Each service connection from a public water system for supplying water to premises having an auxiliary water supply shall be protected against backflow of water from the premises into the public water system , unless the auxiliary water supply is approved as an additional source by the water purveyor and is satisfactory to the public health agency having jurisdiction with regard to quality and safety . 2 . Each service connection from a_ public water system for supplying water to premises , on which any substance is handled under pressure in such fashion as to permit entry into the water system , shall be protected against backflow of the water from the premises into the public system . This shall include the handling of process waters and waters originating from the public water supply system which may have been subject to deterioration in sanitary of chemical quality . W, ll( I h4 � is l ill -,PJ7 � 1 $�i d" I tl I i6 r „ e73i iil z � 1 ,il iE i� 111 �m I i+� �._� 3 . Each service connection from a public water system for supplying water to premises on which a substance of unusually toxic concentration or danger to health is handled in liquid form , even though it is not under pressure , shall be protected against backflow of the water from premises into the public system . Examples are plating factories , using cyanide and hospitals . This is not intended to apply to normal household installations . 4 . Backflow prevention devices shall be installed on the service connection to any premises that have internal cross- connections , unless such cross - connections are abated to the satisfaction of the water purveyor . It shall be the responsibility of the water user to provide and maintain these protective devices , and each one must be of a type acceptable to the State Health Department . Section II . Type of Protection . The protective device required shall depend on the degree of hazard as tabulated below : 1 . At the service connection to any premises where there is an auxiliary water supply handled in a separate piping system with no known cross- connection , • the public water supply shall be protected by an approved double check valve assembly . 2 . At the service connection on any premise on which there is an auxiliary water supply where cross- connections are known to exist which cannot be presently eliminated , the public water supply system shall be protected by an air gap separation or an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device . 3 . At the service connection to any premise on which a substance that would be objectionable ( but not necessarily hazardous to health if introduced into the public water supply) is handled so as to constitute a cross - connection , the public water supply shall be protected by an approved double check valve assembly . 4 . At the service connection to any premise on which a substance of unusual toxic concentration or danger to health is or may be handled ; but not under pressure , the public water supply shall be protected by an air gap separation or an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device . This device shall be located as close as practicable to the water meter , and all piping between the water meter and receiving tanks shall be entirely visible . 5 . At the service connection to any premise on which any material dangerous to health , or toxic substance in toxic concentration , is or may be handled under pressure , the public water supply shall be protected by an air gap separation . The air gap shall be located as close as practicable to the water meter , and all piping between the water meter and receiving tanks shall be entirely visible . If these conditions cannot reasonablyy be met , the public water supply , shall be protected with an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device , providing the alternative is acceptable to the water purveyor . 6 . At the service connection to any sewage treatment plant or sewage pumping station , the public water supply shall be protected by an air gap separation . The air gap shall be located as close as practicable to the water meter and all piping between the water meter and receiving tanks shall be entirely visible . If these conditions cannot be reasonably met , the public water supply shall be protected with an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device . Section III . Frequency of Inspection of Protective Devices . It shall be the duty of the water user on any premise on account of which backflow protective devices are installed , to have competent inspections made at least once a year , or more often in those instances where successive inspections indicate repeated failure . These devices shall be repaired , overhauled or replaced at the expense of the water user whenever they are found to be defective . These tests shall be performed by a qualified backflow prevention device tester , and all test results will be provided to the water purveyor within 72 hours after the test is made . Records of such tests , repairs , and overhaul shall also be kept and made available to the water purveyor and the local health department upon request . ARTICLE 4 PROTECTION OF POTABLE WATER SYSTEM WITHIN PREMISES • Section I . Separate Drinking Water Systems . Whenever the plumbing inspector determines that it is not practical to protect . drinking water systems on premises against entry of water from a source . or piping system or equipment that cannot be approved as safe or potable for human use , an entirely separate drinking water system shall be installed to supply water at points convenient for consumers . Section II . Fire Systems : Water systems for fighting fire , derived from a supply that cannot be approved as safe or potable for human use shall , wherever practicable , be kept wholly separate from drinking water pipelines and equipment . In cases where the domestic water system is used for both drinking and fire- fighting purposes , approved backflow prevention devices shall be installed to protect such individual drinking water lines as are not used for fire- fighting purposes . Any auxiliary fire- fighting water supply which is not approved for potable purposes , but which is so connected that it may be introduced into potable water piping during an emergency , shall be equipped with an approved automatic chlorination machine . It is hereby declared that it is the responsibility of the person or persons causing the introduction of 32c said unapproved or unsafe water into the pipelines to sec ; ( 1 ) that a procedure be developed and carried out to notify and protect users of this piping system during the emergency ( 2 ) that special precautions be taken to disinfect thoroughly and flush out all pipelines which may become contaminated before they are again used to furnish drinking water . In the event the means of protection of water consumers is by disinfection of the auxiliary fire- fighting supply , the installation and its use shall be thoroughly reliable . The public water supply must be protected against backflow from such dual domestic fire systems , as detailed in Article 3 . SECTION III . Process Waters Potable water pipelines connected to equipment for industrial processes or o perations shall be protected by a suitable backflow prevention device located beyond the last point from which drinking water may be taken , which device shall be provided on the feed line to process piping - or equipment . In . ; ,the event the particular process liquid is especially corrosive or apt to prevent reliable action of the backflow prevention device , air gap separation shall be provided . • These devices shall be tested by the water user at least once a year ; or more o ften in those instances where successive inspections indicate repeated failure . The devicesshall be repaired , overhauled or replaced whenever they are found to be defective . These tests must be performed by a qualified backflow prevention device tester and records of tests , repairs and replacement shall be kept and made available to the water purveyor and the health department upon request . SECTION IV . Sewage Treatment Plants and Pumping Station Sewage pumps shall not have priming connections directly off any drinking water systems . No connections shall exist between the drinking water system and any o ther piping , equipment , or tank in any sewage treatment plant or sewage pumping station . SECTION V . Plumbing Connections Where the circumstances are such that there is special danger to health by the backflow of sewage , as from sewers , toilets , hospital bedpans and the like , into a drinking water system , a dependable device or devices shall be installed to prevent such backflow . The purpose of these regulations is not to transcend local plumbing regulations , but only to deal with those extraordinary situations where sewage may be forced o r drawn into the drinking water piping . These regulations do not attempt to e liminate at this time the hazards of back- siphonage through flushometer valves on all toilets , but deal with those situations where the likelihood of vacuum conditions in the drinking water system is definite and there is a special danger t o health . Devices suited to the purpose of avoiding back- siphonage from plumbing fixtures are roof tanks , barometric loops or separate pressure systems separately piped to supply such fixtures , recognized approved vacuum or siphon breaker and o ther backflow protective devices which have been proved by appropriate tests to be dependable for destroying the vacuum . Inasmuch as many of serious hazards of this kind are due to water supply piping , which is too small , thereby causing vacuum conditions when fixtures are flushed or water is drawn from the system in other ways , it is recommended that water supply piping that is too small be enlarged whenever possible . SECTION VI . Pier and Dock Hydrants Backflow protection by a suitable backflow prevention device shall be provided on each drinking water pierhead outlet used for supplying vessels at piers _ or waterfronts . These assemblies must be located where they will prevent the return of . •any water from the vessel into the drinking water pipeline or into another adjacent vessel . " • This will prevent such practices as connecting the ship fire- pumping or sanitary pumping system with a dock hydrant and thereby pumping contaminated water into the drinking water system , and thence to adjacent vessels or back into the public mains . SECTION VII . Marking Safe and Unsafe Water Lines Where the premises contain dual or multiple water systems and piping , the exposed portions of pipelines shall be painted , banded or marked at sufficient intervals to distinguish clearly which water is safe and which is not safe . All outlets from secondary or other potentially contaminated systems shall be posted as being contaminated and unsafe for drinking purposes . All outlets intended for drinking purposes shall be plainly marked to indicate that fact . Water Supervisor . The health department and the water purveyor shall be kept informed of the . identity of the person responsible for the water piping on all premises concerned with these regulations . At each premise where it is necessary, in the opinion of the water purveyor , a water supervisor shall be desiginated . This water supervisor shall be responsible for the installation and use of pipelines and 3247 equipment and fora.the avoidance of cross - connections . In the event of contamination or pollution of the drinking water system due to a cross- connection on the premises) the local health officer and water purveyor shall be promptly advised by the person responsible for the water system , so that appropriate measures may be taken to overcome the contamination . ARTICLE 5 RECOURSE FOR NON- COMPLIANCE Section I . No water service connection to any premises shall be installed or maintained by the water purveyor , , ,unless the water supply is protected as required by state regulations and this rule . Section II . Service of water to any . premises may be discontinued by the water purveyor , if a backflow preventive device required by this rule and regulation is not installed , tested , and maintained ; if any defect is found in an installed backflow • preventive device ; if it is found that a backflow preventive device has been • removed or bypassed ; if unprotected cross - connections exist on the premises , and service will not be restored until such conditions or defects are corrected . 2nd Clm Tarr Carried Closed Public Hearing 8 : 00 PM PUBLIC HEARING # 2 Larry Caskey-Parcel # 39 - 1 - 16 Build Addition to present garage Minutes of Public Hearing ## 2 commencing at 8 : 00 PM Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper to consider the the application of Larry Caskey for a Special Permit to build an addition to his present motor vehicle repair garage at 1990 Dryden Rd . Parcel 439 -, 1 - 16 . QUESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS Supv Cotterill read letter from Frank Liguori , Commissioner of Planning stating that the proposed expansion of facilities for an existing repair garage activity . does not adversely affect any state or county facility , and may proceed without prejudice . Mr Fran Wright , speaking for the Caskey ' s and representative for Agway , who will be constructing the addition to the present building .. Mr Wright stated that it will not change the use of the property . It will not conflict with any zoning requirements and is within the boundaries . It will be in back of the present building to a certain extent . Clw Graham wanted to know if Mr Caskey owned the property . Mr Caskey said that they do own the property . Clm Metzger wanted to know if this would meet the new energy requirements , Mr Wright said that it would , because there would be 6 inches of insulation on the sidewalls and ceilings . RESOLUTION # 84 GRANT SPECIAL PERMIT • • Larry Caskey PARCEL # 39 - 1- 16 Clm Tarr offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption . RESOLVED , that this Town Board grant the special permit to Mr Larry Caskey , parcel # 39- 1- 16 contingent upon the energy conservation code , all requirements will have to be met . 2nd Clm Metzger Roll call vote all voting YES • Closed Public Hearing # 2 8 : 10 PM TOWN BOARD MEETING May 8 , 1979 Minutes of the Town Board meeting held on May 8th Supv Cotterill called the meeting to order at 8 : 10 PM Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance Roll call was by the Town Clerk : Present : Supv Cotterill , C1w Graham , Cir Webb , Clm Tarr , Clm Metzger & Z 0 Stewart Absent : Atty Amdur Approval of the minutes : Clm Metzger made the motion and 2nd by Clm Tarr that the minutes of Public Hearing # 1 and Public Hearing # 2 and the Board Meeting held on April 10th and Special Meeting held on April 19th , 1979 be approved as submitted .

Supv Cotterill reported on the Irish Settlement and Ferguson Rd intersection . J im Ray „ Co Rep Watros and County Hwy Commissioner Bill Mobbs met and the county is still very hesitant to do anything . Supv Cotterill asked how many feet of new road would be involved and how much would it cost ? The county has done nothing to get any estimates since last year . The county seemed to still want to put more curves and poles up instead of doing anything different to the road . Supv Cotterill stated that they still do not have any information to the county committee . They did agree now that the highway commissioner would do some work and get some figures then we can go to the County Planning & Public Works Committee to get their reaction . Supv Cotterill said that the county would do nothing unless the town would do all of the leg work and would have to convince the county that Mr Paul Cook would give them the property at no cost . Also , the town would have to provide all the fill . Mr Cook has agreed to give them the property and to let . them have fill if they could find some high spots on his property . Supv Cotterill said he is now approaching the owner who bought Crow ' s farm . ,: CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Kermit Marquis wanted to make the Town Board aware of the proposed Route # 13 . He felt that the County Planning Board is not playing fair with the Town of Dryden . Every meeting he has attended the county seems to have a different story . ( the northern route ) The Village of Dryden and Dryden School stated no way can they come near it and could not get any clear answers from the county . The reason they gave was because of the dirt dyke that came over the road . Mr Marquis contacte several school board members and presented they said this was presented to them several years ago that there would be no over pass by the school It would be a stop and go for the school buses . .. �, F .3. b ' ( • ' • t _ , , .� RISK MANAGEMENT SUMMARY . .

The plan was never brought back to the school and discussed or anyother proposition for an overpass . When the county went to Freeville they promised them anything they wanted . Mr Marquis felt that this was not the right way to go about it and the county is playing games . There was a meeting with NYSDOT and Mr Liguori was asked how wide the r- o -w would be ? H e never gave an answer but how wide it was in the City of Ithaca . Mr Marquis felt that the County Planning Board is getting paid for this and feels that they should know the answers to questions that people ask . They told the people in Freeville that if they passes this route through Freeville they would plant trees and shrubbery and landscape . So far , Mr Marquis has not seen any of this done through the country side to stop the noise . They were talking about the RR station yard along someones property , which on the map showed they were coming about 600 ' - 800 ' away from the station yard and out in the middle of the field . Clm Webb talked with Mr Dedrick and Mr Bartlett and got their approval . When the • county met they had Route 13 going right through Mr Dedrick ' s and Mr Bartletts farmland . Mr Marquis felt that the county was trying to sneak this right through with no one knowing the difference . Mr Marquis said that the people in this area are getting fooled and we should step on someones toes to get this straightened out . We do have the Farm Bureau working on this to see if some of the countys decisions are right . Mr Marquis is not against Route 13 , because we do need a new route , but it is the way they are going about it . The farmers have talked with Mr Liguori about the • southern route , because it wouldn ' t go through valuable farm land or there would not be the amount of interchanges . The county keeps passing it off . NYSDOT stated that they tried to tell the county this 5 years ago and they would not listed . Mr Fran Wright , Vice Chairman of Tomp . Co . Traffic Commission , said that they had a public hearing about l month ago . This is not final and Mr Wright did not receive all the information he wanted to know . No action has been taken yet . There were Farm Bureau representatives there , and are making studies on their own and will get back to the Traffic Commission . Mr Wright felt that this would have to come to the Co . Transportation Commission before the Co Planning Board . The Co Planning Bd is ✓ esponsible for the final report to the Co Board of Representatives . CORRESPONDENCE III Supv Cotterill read a letter from NYSE & G informing the Town Board that at present they are unable to light intersections of Town Roads that intersect with State Highways in Tomp . Co . This is due to local policies adopted by the Tomp Co . Office o f NYSDOT , stating they will not give permission to allow light from new units to fall on any portion of state highways within Tomp . Co . The only method allowed by the local DOT is to put the lighting on town road portions . NYSE &G is working with NYS Highway lighting parctices to resolve these problems . The Town Board decided to write a letter to NYSDOT in Syracuse , and send a copy to Assemblyman MacNeil and Senator Smith requesting them to try and get this resolved .
