Board authorizes letter of support for Crane lateral-repair grant; officials cite $2–2.5 million I&I estimate
Summary
The Greene County Regional Sewer District authorized its president to sign a letter supporting a Defense Community Infrastructure Program application for lateral repairs in Crane; staff cited estimated I&I repair costs of roughly $2–2.5 million and said testing (smoke and camera) is under way.
The board voted to authorize the president to sign a letter of support for an application to the Defense Community Infrastructure Program to fund lateral repairs in the town of Crane. Staff described the request as similar to previous letters the district has provided and asked for formal authorization to sign the letter on the district's behalf; a motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff noted one difference in the current application: it references that a new plant is being built with federal funds and that that plant could range from 250,000 to 400,000 gallons depending on bids. Staff also offered testing and scope details: smoke testing and camera inspections have been underway for roughly two months and the grant is intended to address inflow and infiltration problems. Cost estimates discussed in the meeting pointed to roughly $2 to $2.5 million to fix I&I in the targeted area; staff described customer counts in the neighborhood as on the order of dozens (board discussion noted counts of about 70–93 customers during the exchange).
A board member moved to approve the authorization and the motion carried on a voice vote; staff said the president would sign the letter before the end of the meeting.
