Board discusses Route 12 sewer extension and options to bring water to Dingman Point
Summary
Rob Campan updated the board on culvert and water projects: the Swan Hollow culvert remains under DOT review, and staff outlined alternatives and rough cost ranges for bringing water to Dingman Point, noting grants and a district-formation process will be necessary for competitiveness.
During Old Business, Rob Campan reported on multiple infrastructure matters, including culverts, a Swan Hollow Road culvert that remains under review by the Department of Transportation and early planning for bringing water to Dingman Point Road.
Campan described two options to feed Dingman Point Road: routing water by County or via an alignment through Carnegie Bay with an under-bay crossing. He gave preliminary magnitude estimates—roughly $300,000 to $400,000 per 1,000 feet in rocky terrain—and said he will provide preliminary numbers for board review at the next meeting. Campan emphasized that many funding sources require a district-formation process and public hearings to demonstrate local support, and that the town will need to form a district if it wants to be competitive for grants.
Board members agreed that design and preliminary budgeting work should continue, noting that advancing projects to a "shovel ready" state helped secure county grants in other corridors. No funding authorization was finalized at this meeting; board members said they will continue to seek grant opportunities and clarify legal questions about district segmentation with bond counsel and attorneys.
