ORDER OF TOWN BOARD
SPECIFYING TIME AND PLACE OF
PUBLIC HEARING ON ESTABLISHMENT OF
LANSING (T) WATER DISTRICT NO, 17, EXTENSION 5
At a special meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Lansing held at the Town Hall in
the Town of Lansing, Tompkins County, New York, on the 6th day of January, 1999, at 7:00
P.M.
PRESENT: Jeannine Kirby, Supervisor
Jeffrey Cleveland, Councilman
Herbert Beckwith, Councilman
Stephen Farkas, Councilman
In the matter of the establishment of Lansing Water District No. 17, Extension 5, Town
of Lansing, County of Tompkins, State of New York, pursuant to Article 12 -A of the Town Law.
WHEREAS, a map, plan and report have been prepared in such manner and in such
detail as has heretofore been determined by the Town Board of Lansing, relating to the
187
January 06, 1999, continued
establishment of a proposed water district in the Town; and,
WHEREAS, such map, plan and report, dated December 31, 1998, and revised January
6, 1999, having been duly filed in the Town Clerk's Office in said Town on January 06, 1999;
and,
WHEREAS, said map, plan and report were prepared by T.G. Miller & Associates, P.C.,
Engineers and Surveyors, Ithaca, New York, duly licensed by the State of New York, showing
boundaries of the proposed district, a general plan of the water system and a report of the
proposed method of operation; and,
WHEREAS, said map shows the proposed water district, water mains, fire hydrants and
other related and necessary appurtenances; and,
WHEREAS, the boundaries of the proposed district are described in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto and made a part hereof, and,
WHEREAS, the improvements proposed are as follows:
SERVICE AREA - As shown on the map filed in the Town Clerk's Office and described
Exhibit A. the proposed water district will include approximately 602 acres of land, more or less.
There are presently 72 developed parcels and 16 undeveloped parcels within the proposed
district extension.
POPULATION TO BE SERVED - There are presently 72 consumption units in the
District and it is anticipated that there will be a maximum of 14 additional consumption units at
the time the District has been fully developed. Assuming, for planning purposes, that the
average number of persons per living unit is 3, the number of persons to be served upon full
development will be approximately 258.
WATER SUPPLY - Water use in the Town of Lansing is estimated at 300 gallons per
average day for each single family residence. Treated water requirements, estimated not to
exceed an average of 21,600 gallons per day presently, and 25,800 gallons per day upon full
development, will be purchased from the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water
Commission (Bolton Point Water Supply). The Town of Lansing is one of the municipalities
which own the system. The capacity of the Bolton Point supply is considered more than
adequate to supply this district.
WATER SYSTEM TO BE CONSTRUCTED - As shown on the map, plan and report
filed with the Town Clerk, the proposed district extension will be serviced from approximately
13,315 linear feet of 8 inch ductile iron pipe and approximately 890 linear feet of 4 inch ductile
iron pipe connected to Water District 17. Water District 17, Extension 5 will be served from the
Town of Lansing's Storage Tank No. 4, on Emmons Road, which was constructed in 1996 as
part of Water District No. 17.
WHEREAS, the proposed method of financing is as follows:
METHOD OF FINANCING - The project cost of construction of Water District 17
Extension 5 is proposed to be financed in part by a grant from the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development, and the remainder by the issuance of serial bonds to mature in
annual installments and paid by the beneficiaries of the proposed district extension through a
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Revolving Loan Fund no interest
loan. It is proposed that the annual serial bond payments be assessed against the benefited
properties from two sources: fifty percent of the annual payment will be raised from the assessed
value of real property within the district, and; the remaining fifty percent will be shared based
upon consumption units. Consumption units are based upon the "Definition of Units for Purpose
of Connection Charges" of the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission.
188
January 06, 1999, continued
20 Year Serial Bond
Assuming the project is financed with a United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development grant in the amount of $4000,000, with the remaining amount financed with 20
year serial bonds a 0% interest through a New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation Revolving Loan Fund no interest loan, then the estimated annual payment is
calculated as follows:
Total Cost
HUD Grant
Remaining Principal
Interest
Term
Annual Payment
= $6571400.00
= $4003000.00
= $2575400.00
=0%
=20 years
= $13,256
Estimated Annual Cost to Property Owner
Based upon the dwelling units presently within the proposed district, the assessment
charge would be $1.831/$1,000 of real property value plus $92.056 /consumption unit. The
average assessed value of the properties within the district extension is $50,264.28, leading to an
average charge for assessed value of $92.00. Using this average assessed value per dwelling
unit, the annual cost for debt retirement the average single family residence is $184.00. The
projected annual cost for debt retirement of the dwelling unit with the highest assessed value is
$477.00. The projected annual cost for debt retirement of the dwelling unit with the lowest
assessed value is $127.00. A breakdown of the charges per property under the formula is shown
on the Engineer's Report. The estimated annual charge to the average single family residence
for debt retirement, water charges, operations and maintenance is $512.00.
WHEREAS, the method and costs of operation is as follows:
METHOD OF OPERATION, The proposed extension will be serviced from Town of
Lansing Tank No. 4, which has a volume of 250,000 gallons and overflow elevation of
approximately 993.5 feet USGS. Storage is adequate to meet the consumption and fire flow
needs of the extension. The proposed district extension will have between 43 psi+ and 150 psi+
of static main pressure. All connections to the system will be required to install an individual
pressure reducing valve to maintain moderate household pressures and protect against pressure
surges in the transmission pipe. Individual service line sizes will vary depending on the total
distance from the main to the home and will be verified by Bolton Point staff. The
recommended range for household pressure is between 40 and 60 psi.
WATER USE FEES. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING COSTS - The costs of
maintenance and operating and system -wide improvements are recovered in the per- gallon price
charged to all water users in the Town, which is estimated at $81.85 per quarterly billing for a
single family residence.
