Board approves application to seek state funds to replace lead service lines
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution allowing the village manager to apply for a second Water Infrastructure Improvement Act grant to replace lead service lines; staff estimated replacement costs of about $5.4 million and said the grant could cover up to 70% of project costs.
The Ossining Village Board voted to authorize the village manager to submit a lead service line replacement grant application under the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act. The clerk read language saying the replacement program is estimated at $5,397,000 and that the village could be eligible for up to 70% grant funding under the program.
Staff emphasized the replacement grant is distinct from the inventory grant and would cover construction and replacement activities. "For this grant the village can be awarded up to 70% of the full estimated project cost up to $10,000,000," the clerk read. Trustees discussed the village's responsibility to fund the difference between the grant and total cost and noted prior identification of over 300 lines that may require replacement. The board recorded verbal 'Aye' approvals for the resolution; transcript records the motion, second, and affirmative responses but does not list an itemized roll call.
