Public hearing: County to fund $1.6 million water improvements for North Greenbush district
Summary
At an Oct. 10 public hearing, Barton & Loguidice outlined a $1.6 million water system improvement project for the North Greenbush Consolidated Water District; the county will cover the cost, the work stops at 88 Macha Lane, and engineers said pressure and flow should rise substantially once complete.
The Town of North Greenbush held a public hearing Oct. 10 on the North Greenbush Consolidated Water District Water System Improvements Project. John Frazer, senior managing engineer for Barton & Loguidice, told the board the County will pay the full $1.6 million cost of the project and that construction would stop at 88 Macha Lane because that is where the water district ends.
Frazer said hydrants will be brought up to current standards and that system pressure would be "3/4 more than it is now," with flow increasing almost immediately after completion; he also said the project will not connect to Poestenkill. Residents asked about past fires and pressure problems on Snyders Lake Road; Frazer said flow tests will be conducted in each area. The public hearing was closed by motion of Supervisor Bott, seconded by Councilperson Merola; all board members present voted Aye and the hearing adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
