Pembroke board sets July 25 public hearing on Water District No. 5 with $2.055 million estimate
Summary
The Town Board adopted an order calling a public hearing on July 25 to consider forming Water District No. 5, estimating a maximum project cost of $2,055,000 and per-dwelling first-year costs of about $1,048; the order states residents will bear construction costs and that the project was reviewed under SEQRA.
The Town of Pembroke has scheduled a public hearing for July 25, 2024, to consider creating Water District No. 5 and installing new water mains and related facilities, according to an order the Town Board adopted at its June 27 meeting.
The order, prepared by engineer Jeremy DeLyser, P.E. of Clark Patterson Lee and entered into the minutes, sets a maximum estimated project cost of $2,055,000 and states that the work will be paid at the sole expense of residents of the proposed district. The order lists estimated recurring first-year costs per equivalent dwelling unit of $1,048 and a one-time per-unit installation estimate of $1,140.
The text in the order explains that earlier in 2023 the board adopted a final order subject to permissive referendum and that, because the Office of the State Comptroller’s threshold for required review increased effective Jan. 1, 2024, the maximum per-unit cost for formation now falls below the Comptroller’s threshold and Comptroller permission is no longer required.
The order also records that, under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), the project has been classified as a "Type I Action" and that the town determined the proposal "will not result in any significant adverse environmental effects" as presented in the filing.
The order directs the Town Clerk to publish and post notice of the hearing in the official newspaper and on the town signboard in accordance with the Town Law; Exhibit A attached to the order gives notice of the July 25 hearing and repeats the cost and SEQRA information.
What happens next: the board will hear residents and property owners at the public hearing and may take further action permitted by law after that input. The order in the meeting record directs the clerk to publish the required notice in advance of the hearing.
