Boil-water orders lifted; Henshaw Village infrastructure grant could bring $1 million and enforcement resolution planned for solid-waste violations
Summary
Staff reported lifted boil-water orders at Bailey Park, said the county legislature advanced a Henshaw Village infrastructure grant application that could yield about $1,000,000 for municipal water and sewer, and described enforcement action and a likely board resolution addressing overflowing garbage and biohazard conditions at the Estuary/Asteri building.
Environmental and sanitation reports covered recent water-safety and enforcement matters. Speaker 8 said a boil-water order at Bailey Park has been lifted after resolving a leak that had left water available only intermittently; the park operator will likely be asked to enter a stipulation to improve the distribution system and install valving to isolate future leaks.
Speaker 8 also reported the county legislature approved Henshaw Village as an applicant for a state Empire State Development infrastructure grant that, if awarded, could provide roughly $1,000,000 toward municipal water and sewer connections for the park. That funding would complement other grants the town of Dryden has secured and could be implemented within the next two years if successful.
On enforcement, Speaker 8 described a separate complaint-driven inspection at Estuary (Asteri) that found overflowing garbage and biohazardous material in at least one stairwell. County staff issued commissioner's orders requiring correction; staff plan internal meetings with county administration and the City of Ithaca and expect to return to the board with a resolution to address the violation and add additional requirements if needed.
