Red Hook Water Board considers selling surplus supply lots; plans lead service line inspections
Summary
The Water Board discussed putting former water-supply lots adjacent to the pond on Aspinwal up for sale and assigned Michael Roomberg to write a memo declaring the property surplus; the board also discussed the lead service line inventory and potential digging inspections and hydro-vac contractor checks.
At its June 3 meeting the Town of Red Hook Water Board discussed potential sale of surplus lots that comprise the old water-district supply adjacent to the pond on both sides of Aspinwal. The Town Board had earlier considered selling the property to the Community Preservation Plan but did not agree; Water Board Member Michael Roomberg volunteered to draft a memo to the Town Board stating the parcels are surplus and not needed by the Water District.
The board also discussed the Lead Service Line Inventory (LSLI). Associate Member Stan Carey described the expectation that future inspections of service-side connections (near the water main) will require digging and water testing. Water Board Member Phil McDougal said he will check available contractors and pricing for hydro-vac excavation to support those inspections.
The minutes do not record formal votes on the property sale or a schedule for LSLI work; Michael Roomberg's memo to the Town Board was presented as a next step, and staff follow-up on contractor pricing was noted. The board handled these items alongside other routine business and adjourned at 9:10 PM.
If the parcels are declared surplus by the Town Board, the Water Board indicated it may place the lots up for sale; the minutes do not list appraisals, valuations, or how proceeds would be used.
