Kinderhook DPW says lead‑service‑line inventory on track for Oct. 16 state deadline
Summary
DPW Commissioner David Booth reported the village’s lead‑service‑line inventory will be completed by the state deadline of Oct. 16, 2024, with WSP assisting; the village awaits guidance on property‑access mandates and funding for replacements.
DPW Commissioner David Booth told the board the state requires a complete inventory of village lead lines and loops by Oct. 16, 2024, and that the village is working with WSP to finalize the inventory. Booth said the inventory is "in good shape and will be done on time," but the state has not yet specified whether municipalities will be authorized to access private property or how replacement costs will be funded.
Trustees discussed financial planning for future replacements; Trustee James Mark Browne said the village will proceed cautiously now while setting aside funds for anticipated future work. Booth outlined routine DPW activities and equipment maintenance that continue alongside the inventory work. The board did not vote on funding for line replacement at this meeting; the inventory itself is a state compliance requirement that the village expects to meet by the mid‑October deadline.
