This Agreement made as of June 30, 2019 between the Town of Ithaca, a
municipal corporation with offices at 215 N. Tioga Street, Ithaca, New York and the

New York, on behalf of the Peregrine Hollow Sewer District (PHSD).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS the PHSDutilizes portions of the Town of Ithaca’ssanitary sewer
system to transport sewage to the jointly owned Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment
Facility, and
WHEREAS the Town of Ithaca is willing to provide such service upon the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth,
NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth the parties agree as follows:
1. Subject to the limitations set forth in this agreement, the Town of Ithaca
hereby agrees to transport all of the sanitary sewage from the PHSD entering the Town of
Ithaca’s Slaterville Road sewer through portions of the existing Town of Ithaca sanitary
sewage collection system to the point of connection with the City of Ithaca’s sanitary
sewage collection system.
2. The Joint Interceptor Agreement between City of Ithaca and Town of Ithaca,
dated December 31, 2003, states that sewage flow from the Town of Dryden may pass
through Town of Ithaca sewers and into the interceptors jointly owned by the Town of
Ithaca and City of Ithaca. The Joint Interceptor Agreement further provides that sewage
flow from the Town of Dryden may pass through the City of Ithaca collection system and
joint pump stations. The Joint Interceptor Agreement states such flows will be
considered as Town of Ithaca flows. The Town of Ithaca’s payments to the City of Ithaca
under the Joint Interceptor Agreement compensate the City for transmission of these
Dryden flows.
3. The Town of Dryden agreed in 1996 and reaffirms that all existing and future
improvements required to connect the PHSD sanitary sewage collection system to the
existing Town of Ithaca sanitary sewage collection system were and will be constructed
to Town of Ithaca specifications subject to the approval of the Ithaca Town Engineer.
The Town of Dryden also agreed in 1996 and reaffirms that all such improvements were
and will be constructed at no cost to the Town of Ithaca.
4. The Town of Dryden also agreed in 1996 that the portion of the improvements
within the Town of Ithaca would be dedicated to the Town of Ithaca at no cost to Ithaca.
The Ithaca Town Board accepted dedication of these improvements in 1996. The Town

of Dryden agrees that any future improvements it constructs within the Town of Ithaca
will be dedicated to the Town of Ithaca at no cost to the Town of Ithaca.

inch PVC sewer mainand manholes, as more fully described by the map, plan, report and
specifications prepared as approved by the Ithaca Town Engineer on May 9, 1995. The
foregoing improvements were installed prior to the Town of Dryden’s discharge of any
sanitary sewage into the Town of Ithaca sanitary sewage collection system. The meter pit,
flow meter and related appurtenances described in the map, plan, report and
specifications were to be constructed at a later time but have not been constructed. The
parties agree those items do not need to be constructed.
6. The Town of Ithaca maintains the portion of the improvements within the
Town of Ithaca and has the right to use or modify the sewage collection system in the
Town of Ithaca.
7. Sanitary sewage flows entering the Town of Ithaca sewers from the PHSD will
be measured by water consumption in any and all premises that are connected to the
sewer line which is discharging sanitary sewage into the Town of Ithaca’s collection
system, using water meter readings and assuming that 100% of the water used on the
premises as reflected in such meter readings is converted to sewage (i.e. the water
readings of the various facilities connected to the sewer shall be added together and the
resulting sum shall be deemed to be the amount of sanitary sewage being discharged into
the Town of Ithaca’s system.)
8. The Town of Dryden, on behalf of PHSD, hereby agrees to pay to the Town of
Ithaca an amount which is intended to be a fair portion of the operation and maintenance
costs of the shared sewer lines. The Town of Dryden’s annual payment shall be the total

deemed contributed to the Town of Ithaca system. Any payment not received by August
31 of each year may, at the discretion of the Town of Ithaca, be charged a 1.5% per
month late fee. The Town of Ithaca will not send the Town of Dryden an invoice.

consumed, and that rate will be increased by 2.25% per year beginning on July 1, 2020,
unless a different rate is mutually agreed upon in writing by both parties.

sanitary sewage from the PHSD through the Town of Ithaca system, City/Town of Ithaca
jointly owned interceptors and pump stations, and/or City of Ithaca collection system to
the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility. This agreement does not cover, and the
