Board hears concerns about Joint Water Project change orders; resident asks about 58 million-gallon release
Summary
Councilors reported change orders are depleting Joint Water Project funds and discussed who pays for water meters. An audience member asked whether storm releases included 58 million gallons; a councilor said he 'heard' that figure but was uncertain on timing or context.
Councilor Todd Platten told the board May 22 that the Joint Water Project has incurred numerous change orders that are depleting contingency funds, and he noted a resident on Crossett Road had been missed during engineering work.
Supervisor Vernon Richardson and others discussed meter-payment arrangements with the Village of Elbridge — including whether meters should be prepaid or reimbursed and what the villages’ retained 75% is used for; Richardson suggested the topic be brought to the next water meeting. During audience participation, Louis McIntyre asked whether water gates were opened during the recent storm. Platten said he had "heard they released 58 million gallons" but added he was not certain of timing or whether that was in addition to the normal release. Platten also clarified the change order referenced applies to the main line rather than an individual house; the property is in the existing water district.
