Stony Point authorizes irrigation design at Patriot Hills to curb rising Veolia water costs
Summary
The town authorized the engineer to prepare design and bid documents for an irrigation project at Patriot Hills intended to supplement Veolia supply with water from a town‑owned pond; Supervisor Stan cited Veolia bills of $224,000 (2024) and $260,000 (2025).
Supervisor Stan moved and the board approved a motion authorizing the town engineer to prepare design and bid documents for an irrigation project at Patriot Hills intended to reduce the town's Veolia water expenses at the golf course. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Stan said the town has seen significant increases in Veolia water charges during peak months and cited a Veolia cost of $224,000 for 2024 and $260,000 for 2025. The proposed plan is to use water from a town‑owned pond at the golf course to supplement Veolia supply, which the town hopes will significantly lower future Veolia bills.
Supervisor Stan thanked golf course superintendent Evan Wee for compiling the usage and cost information and said the town will pursue the design work to identify engineering and procurement requirements. The board did not provide a specific savings estimate or implementation schedule during the meeting.
The motion directs the town engineer to prepare design and bid documents, which is the next step before construction‑phase decisions or budget approvals.
