Tupper Lake awards meter installs for 322 state‑mandated water meters; Wright‑Pierce draft report received
Summary
The village extended a contract to North Country Contractors to install 322 water meters required by NYS DOH and DEC, sent a service‑line inventory mailing to residents, and received a draft water analysis from Wright‑Pierce Engineering; a public meeting to review alternatives will follow.
Mayor Mary Fontana told residents the village has extended a contract to North Country Contractors, LLC to install the remaining 322 water meters that are mandated by the New York State Department of Health and Department of Environmental Conservation. The company will contact customers to schedule inside installs and will complete remaining meter pits in spring; residents were asked to cooperate to avoid service interruptions.
Water/Wastewater Superintendent Mark Robillard said a service line inventory mailing was sent to customers asking them to complete a survey; the water department will offer in‑home visits to help residents who are unsure which materials supply their service line. The village also received a draft water analysis report from Wright‑Pierce Engineering Consultants, P.C.; officials said staff will review alternatives with Wright‑Pierce and then schedule a public meeting to share findings and next steps. The minutes do not specify a timeline for the public meeting or the contents of the water analysis beyond its draft delivery.
These actions together mark a near‑term push to complete state‑mandated meter installations and to inform residents about service line construction and water system alternatives.
