Ogdensburg council hears updates on Predmore Road, water main break and Bettino Drive repairs
Summary
During public comment and new-business updates the council reported Predmore Road drainage and paving nearing completion, set a Nov. 17 bid opening for solid waste, and addressed resident concerns about a water-main break and sand in household water; borough staff said repair work would be pursued and that the leak may be deferred until next year if not fixed this season.
Infrastructure items and resident concerns featured in the Sept. 12 Ogdensburg meeting.
Predmore Road: Mayor George P. Hutnick said the Predmore Road project was close to completion, with new drain pipes installed and paving underway; he expected the work to finish by the end of the week. Councilman Poyer asked whether the new setup had been flood-tested to confirm drainage; Hutnick said the setup was not yet complete and that a large-scale flooding test would be impractical but he would consult the borough engineer.
Water-main break and Bettino Drive: During public comment resident Joseph Kardan asked about a water-main break in front of his driveway. Hutnick said, "If we can’t get to it this year it will be taken care of next year." Stacey Walsh asked whether the DPW supervisor position had been posted; Hutnick replied it had not yet been posted and explained the hiring timeline. Walsh also asked about repair work on Bettino Drive and noted sand appearing in her water; Hutnick said a company would dig to locate the leak and the borough would follow up with the water operations person.
The public session included a nomination from resident Dave Astor for the borough's Senior Citizen of the Year.
No formal votes were taken on the infrastructure items; the entries were status updates and public comments with follow-up actions identified by the mayor and staff.
