The proposed improvements are divided into two phases. The
first phase work carried the program through 1977. The sf~cond
phase is for the remaininq period through 1990. Further, the
first phase is broken into Part A and B, the subphasing being
identified to provide additional flexibility to the Town Board in
the decision-makinq process as related to growth. Second phase
improvements would be financed exclus ivel y from water ut il i ty
generated income on a pay as you go basis.

yirs1:._~~as~!.. Pa~t A - Included the well field and
related facilities, a new lG-inch tr-ansmission line,
insulation of storage tanks, and a Zone 2 supply system.

First Phase, Part B - Included a 12-inch transmission
line extens ion, water treatment, improvements to the
distribution system, and related facilities.

Second Phase - Improvements to existinq distribution
system, additional wells and related facilities.

COSTS

The proposed project was estimated to cost $2.25 million for
the first phase. Additional work would relate to growth rates
and utility income.

The total annual estimated operation, maintenance and
replacement costs for the first phase system was $69,700 per year
for Parts A and B, and those existing operation and maintenance
commitments of the Town which will remain.

Evaluation of the project demonstrated that with state and
federal aid, the proposed improvements need not be a growth
generator in themselves, though an increase in water rents would
be necessary under low growth conditions.
