Town approves soft-cost authorization for Dover Ridge wastewater improvements

Apr 15, 2026

The board passed a resolution authorizing engineering and legal soft costs related to Dover Ridge Estates' wastewater treatment improvements after consulting with the town engineer and DEC; any eventual assessments would be levied on district residents.

The full story

Town counsel summarized the background: the town previously acquired Dover Ridge sewer facilities by eminent domain, rebuilt the wastewater treatment plant and now faces DEC-required improvements because current effluent limits exceed standards. The board approved a soft-cost resolution to allow engineering and legal work to proceed so the town can evaluate compliance options and later recover costs via assessments or bonds if necessary.
