Please refer to project report, map and plan for details. Specifically, improvements are proposed to occur in or near New Hackensack Road; Woodhill Green Road; Albany Post Road (US Route 9); and North Mesier Avenue in the Town of Wappinger and the Village of Wappingers Falls. Description of Proposed Action An Engineer's Report evaluated alternatives for addressing existing wastewater issues for the Wildwood Sewer District on a long term basis. Based upon a review of the alternatives, it is recommended to pursue the replacement of the existing Wildwood wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) with a connection to a WWTF owned and operated by the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission, a governmental entity that services the United Wappinger Sewer District. This would include: demolition of the existing Wildwood WWTF; and construction of a new pump station, force main and gravity sewer connections from the Wildwood WWTF site to the existing Village of Wappingers Falls collection system. The Village collection system connects to a Tri -Municipal pump station that conveys wastewater to the Tri - Municipal WWTF. In addition, it is recommended that the Woodhill Green Condominiums also be included with this connection. The privately owned Woodhill Green Condominiums WWTF would be replaced with a new pump station and force main to connect to the new gravity sewer located on the Woodhill Green property. This recommended alternative will result in the lowest total annual costs for the Wildwood Sewer District and will also provide needed sewer service for Woodhill Green Condominiums. The project will involve approximately 1.41 acres of disturbance primarily in previously disturbed areas in or near existing roads or developed lot areas. However, relocation of the WWTF discharge location may involve very limited disturbance near a stream or wetland area. The following approvals or permits will be required: - New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) modification to the SPDES permit; - NYSDEC Protection of Waters — Stream Disturbance permit; - Possible wetlands permitting; and - Approval of the Town of Wappinger, the Village of Wappingers Falls and the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission. The proposed project schedule from design through completion of construction would be 19 months. Proiect Sponsor and Contact Information While the Town of Wappinger Town Board intends to serve as Lead Agency for the proposed action, the action consists of a project involving two communities. Accordingly, the project is an inter -municipal action involving the Town of Wappinger and the Village of Wappingers Falls. Contact information for each municipality is as follows: Supervisor Lori Jiava Town of Wappinger Town Hall 20 Middlebush Road Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 845-297-4158 liiava@townofwappinger.us Mayor Matt Alexander Village of Wappingers Falls Village Hall 2528 South Avenue Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 845-297-8773 mayor@wappingersfallsny.gov Government Approvals (Short EAF Question 2) The Town of Wappinger Town Board; and the Village of Wappingers Falls Board of Trustees will have to approve the map, plan and report for the above described water improvements. These Boards have also authorized applications for grant funds; and municipal expenditures necessary to complete these projects. The permits and approvals for each aspect of the overall project are listed above in the project description section of this narrative. Proposed and Potential Development The proposed action consists of infrastructure improvements and an interconnection between the facilities of 2 communities: Town of Wappinger; and Village of Wappingers Falls. Refer to the brief summary of the proposed action above. Please refer to the Engineer's Report, including tables, map and plan, for project details. Land disturbance will be involved to install force main and gravity sewer lines and related improvements; and then to restore disturbed areas to their original conditions. As described above, the project areas consist primarily of previously disturbed areas in or near existing paved roads or shoulder areas or developed lot areas. For example, at each site the following general steps would be involved: - Site preparation, as needed, including erosion and sedimentation controls; - Excavation to create a trench for installation of sewer lines and related improvements, including stockpiling material for reuse or removal; Preparation of trench base and installation of sewer lines and related improvements; Backfilling with required materials and topsoil to fill trench; Replanting and reseeding disturbed areas and topping with mulch as needed; and - Restoration of paved road or should areas as applicable; and - Inspection of site area. Critical Environmental Area (Short EAF Question 7) The response to Short EAF question 12.b indicates that the project site, or a portion of it, may be located in or adjacent to a Critical Environmental Area, or CEA. The response from the Short EAF Mapper database notes: "Wappinger Lake, Reason: Protection of natural resource". It is noted that the easternmost aspect of the project is a connection with an existing sewer pipe located in North Mesier Drive, east of Route 9, near the intersection with Liss Road. The end of this section is approximately 400' from the closest shore of Wappinger Lake. As described above, the project areas consist primarily of previously disturbed areas in or near existing paved roads or shoulder areas or developed lot areas. The proposed land disturbance will occur in areas previously developed as roadway and road shoulder, yet would not involve any change to adjacent undeveloped land areas that may be related to the CEA. Archaeologically Sensitive Area (Short EAF Question 12) The response to Short EAF question 12.b indicates that the project site, or a portion of it, may be located in or adjacent to an area designated as sensitive for archaeological sites on the NY State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) archaeological site inventory. As described above, the proposed land disturbance will occur in areas previously developed as roadway and road shoulder, yet would not involve any change to adjacent undeveloped land areas that may be archeologically sensitive. Wetlands and Waterbodies (Short EAF Question 13) The response to question 13 indicated the presence of a wetland or waterbody in or near the project area. As noted in response to Short EAF question 7, above, the easternmost aspect of the project is about 400' from Wappinger Lake, which is the closest wetland or waterbody as per online mapping resources such as Dutchess County Parcel Access. However, as noted above, relocation of the WWTF discharge location may involve very limited disturbance near a stream or wetland area. All such work would comply with any NYSDEC permitting requirements. Threatened or Endangered Species or Habitats (Short EAF Question 15) As noted in response to Short EAF question 14, the project site consists of land characterized as urban or suburban. The response to Short EAF question 15 indicates that the project site, or a portion of it, may contain species of animals, or associated habitats, "listed by the State or Federal government as threatened or endangered". As described above, the project areas consist primarily of previously disturbed areas in or near existing paved roads or shoulder areas or developed lot areas. The proposed land disturbance will occur in areas previously developed as roadway and road shoulder, yet would not involve any change to adjacent undeveloped land areas that may contain wildlife or habitats for wildlife.

Please refer to project report, map and plan for details. Specifically, improvements are proposed to occur in or near New Hackensack Road; Woodhill Green Road; Albany Post Road (US Route 9); and North Mesier Avenue in the Town of Wappinger and the Village of Wappingers Falls. Description of Proposed Action An Engineer's Report evaluated alternatives for addressing existing wastewater issues for the Wildwood Sewer District on a long term basis. Based upon a review of the alternatives, it is recommended to pursue the replacement of the existing Wildwood wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) with a connection to a WWTF owned and operated by the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission, a governmental entity that services the United Wappinger Sewer District. This would include: demolition of the existing Wildwood WWTF; and construction of a new pump station, force main and gravity sewer connections from the Wildwood WWTF site to the existing Village of Wappingers Falls collection system. The Village collection system connects to a Tri -Municipal pump station that conveys wastewater to the Tri - Municipal WWTF. In addition, it is recommended that the Woodhill Green Condominiums also be included with this connection. The privately owned Woodhill Green Condominiums WWTF would be replaced with a new pump station and force main to connect to the new gravity sewer located on the Woodhill Green property. This recommended alternative will result in the lowest total annual costs for the Wildwood Sewer District and will also provide needed sewer service for Woodhill Green Condominiums. The project will involve approximately 1.41 acres of disturbance primarily in previously disturbed areas in or near existing roads or developed lot areas. However, relocation of the WWTF discharge location may involve very limited disturbance near a stream or wetland area. The following approvals or permits will be required: - New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) modification to the SPDES permit; - NYSDEC Protection of Waters — Stream Disturbance permit; - Possible wetlands permitting; and - Approval of the Town of Wappinger, the Village of Wappingers Falls and the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission. The proposed project schedule from design through completion of construction would be 19 months. Proiect Sponsor and Contact Information While the Town of Wappinger Town Board intends to serve as Lead Agency for the proposed action, the action consists of a project involving two communities. Accordingly, the project is an inter -municipal action involving the Town of Wappinger and the Village of Wappingers Falls. Contact information for each municipality is as follows: Supervisor Lori Jiava Town of Wappinger Town Hall 20 Middlebush Road Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 845-297-4158 liiava@townofwappinger.us Mayor Matt Alexander Village of Wappingers Falls Village Hall 2528 South Avenue Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 845-297-8773 mayor@wappingersfallsny.gov Government Approvals (Short EAF Question 2) The Town of Wappinger Town Board; and the Village of Wappingers Falls Board of Trustees will have to approve the map, plan and report for the above described water improvements. These Boards have also authorized applications for grant funds; and municipal expenditures necessary to complete these projects. The permits and approvals for each aspect of the overall project are listed above in the project description section of this narrative. Proposed and Potential Development The proposed action consists of infrastructure improvements and an interconnection between the facilities of 2 communities: Town of Wappinger; and Village of Wappingers Falls. Refer to the brief summary of the proposed action above. Please refer to the Engineer's Report, including tables, map and plan, for project details. Land disturbance will be involved to install force main and gravity sewer lines and related improvements; and then to restore disturbed areas to their original conditions. As described above, the project areas consist primarily of previously disturbed areas in or near existing paved roads or shoulder areas or developed lot areas. For example, at each site the following general steps would be involved: - Site preparation, as needed, including erosion and sedimentation controls; - Excavation to create a trench for installation of sewer lines and related improvements, including stockpiling material for reuse or removal; Preparation of trench base and installation of sewer lines and related improvements; Backfilling with required materials and topsoil to fill trench; Replanting and reseeding disturbed areas and topping with mulch as needed; and - Restoration of paved road or should areas as applicable; and - Inspection of site area. Critical Environmental Area (Short EAF Question 7) The response to Short EAF question 12.b indicates that the project site, or a portion of it, may be located in or adjacent to a Critical Environmental Area, or CEA.

Specifically, improvements are proposed to occur in or near Woodhill Green Road; Albany Post Road (US Route 9); and North Mesier Avenue in the Town of Wappinger and the Village of Wappingers Falls. Description of Proposed Action The proposed action consists of a proposed infrastructure connection between the facilities of 2 communities: Town of Wappinger; and Village of Wappingers Falls. Below is a brief summary of the proposed action. Please refer to the Engineer's Report, including tables, map and plan, for project details. An Engineer's Report evaluated the feasibility of installing a water supply connection from the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System to the Woodhill Green Condominiums, located in the Town of Wappinger. It is proposed to provide an 8" water connection from the existing Village of Wappingers Falls distribution main located on North Meiser Avenue to the existing Woodhill Green water distribution system, as this is the closest connection point for a municipal water supply from Woodhill Green. Due to the higher elevations at Woodhill Green, a booster pump will be installed from the existing Village distribution system. A meter vault will also be provided at the point of connection into Woodhill Green. The project will involve approximately 0.18 acres of disturbance in previously disturbed areas in or near existing roads or developed lot areas. The following approvals or permits will be required: - Changes in water withdrawal require New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) approval; - The proposed emergency interconnection will be subject to review and approval of the New York State and Dutchess County Departments of Health (NYSDOH and DCDOH); - Highway work permits may also be required from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT); Town of Wappinger Highway Department; and the Village of Wappingers Falls Highway Department; - An intermunicipal agreement, needed to define the requirements for using the interconnection, must be signed by both municipalities; and - The proposed connection will be subject to approval of both the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, as Woodhill Green is located within the Town of Wappinger. The proposed project schedule from design through completion of construction would be 16 months.

Based upon a review of the alternatives addressing the existing issues, it is recommended to pursue the replacement of the existing Wildwood wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) with a connection to a WWTF owned and operated by the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission, a governmental entity that services the United Wappinger Sewer District (UWSD). This would include demolition of the existing Wildwood WWTF and construction of a new pump station, force main and gravity sewer connections from the Wildwood WWTF site to the existing Village of Wappingers Falls collection system. The Village collection system connects to a Tri -Municipal pump station that conveys wastewater to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. In addition, it is recommended that the Woodhill Green Condominiums also be included with this connection. The Woodhill Green Condominiums WWTF would be replaced with a new pump station and force main to connect to the new gravity sewer located on the Woodhill Green property. The recommended alternative will result in the lowest total annual costs for the Wildwood Sewer District and will also provide needed sewer service for Woodhill Green Condominiums. Cost breakdowns are included in this report for each of the project alternatives. The breakdown of capital costs for the recommended alternative is shown in Appendix D. These costs include all the legal, engineering and other such administrative costs as well as the construction costs and buy in costs for UWSD sewer capacity associated with connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. The total capital costs for the recommended alternative are estimated at $6,212,000 and will be paid for by the Wildwood Sewer District and Woodhill Green Condominium areas. As this is an inter -municipal project between the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, a grant from the New York State Intermunicipal Water Infrastructure Grants Program (IMG) will be applied for through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). Assuming that a grant is obtained by the end of August 2017, the proposed schedule calls for completion of this project by the end of October 2019. E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR PAGE 2 WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION JUNE 2017 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Background The Wildwood Sewer District serves a total of three hundred thirty eight (338) parcels, consisting of two hundred thirty (230) single family residential homes, one (1) duplex residential parcel, one (1) triplex residential parcel, one (1) converted residence, three (3) parcels each with six 1 -bedroom apartments per parcel, two (2) Town owned vacant parcels, along with a one hundred (100) unit apartment complex consisting of 28 one (1) bedroom units and 74 two (2) bedroom units. The existing wastewater treatment facility is located off New Hackensack Road in the Town of Wappinger and is reported to be on the order of 50 years old. A map of the service area is included in Appendix A of this report. The Wildwood Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) currently operates under SPDES permit No. NY0037117, with a monthly average permitted discharge of 0.1 million gallons per day (MGD). Included in Appendix A of this report are flow records for the year 2016 and based upon these records, the average monthly discharge was approximately 0.077 MGD, with monthly flows varying from 0.050 MGD to 0.103 MGD. It is reported that there are Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) issues within the existing collection system, as there are times when the flows exceed the monthly average permitted discharge limit. The records also indicate that the existing facility has issues consistently meeting the existing SPDES effluent ammonia limits. The facility was recently informed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) that the proposed SPDES Permit renewal would include new effluent discharge limits for the facility, requiring the discharge location to meet intermittent stream standards. As the existing facility cannot meet these proposed discharge limits, the Town of Wappinger sent a letter (see Appendix B) to the NYSDEC requesting consideration of relocating the existing effluent discharge location from the existing tributary of the Wappinger Creek to the Wappinger Creek itself. This may result in the discharge limits remaining at the current levels, which could be met by the existing WWTF. The NYSDEC has noted that in addition to a modification to the SPDES permit, the project will also require a Protection of Waters — Stream Disturbance permit. Included in Appendix B is a NYSDEC Environmental Resource Map of the WWTF parcel, with the discharge location at Wappinger Creek noted to be within a wetlands check zone area, requiring completion of wetlands field flagging to determine whether the discharge location would be within a wetlands area. The initial recommendations noted in the letter will take time to apply for and implement, will require an environmental E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION PAGE 3 JUNE 2017 evaluation to be completed, and will be subject to review and approval of the NYSDEC. If implemented, this recommendation may only provide a short term solution, as the potential exists for Wappinger Creek to be reclassified in the future and the Wildwood WWTF is nearing the end of its useful life. The Town of Wappinger has therefore authorized an evaluation of long term alternatives for the Wildwood Wastewater Treatment Facility. 2.2 Purpose and Scope The purpose of this report is to evaluate the various existing facility issues, with proposed long term improvements to address these issues. Based upon the age of the facility and inability to meet the proposed discharge limits, this report will consider long term alternatives for both replacement of the existing wastewater treatment facility and connection to the existing Tri -Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility through the closest connection point located within the Village of Wappingers Falls. E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR PAGE 4 WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION JUNE 2017 3.0 EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES 3.1 Description The following alternatives have been developed for the addressing the long term existing issues for the Wildwood Sewer District. Each alternative includes addressing inflow and infiltration (1&1) issues within the existing Wildwood collection facility, consisting of slip lining the existing collection facilities, along with demolition of the existing Wildwood WWTF. 3.1.1 Construction of a New Wastewater Treatment Facility Abandonment of the existing wastewater treatment facility and replacement with a new packaged wastewater treatment plant was evaluated as part of this study. Due to land constraints, a Biologically Engineered Single Sludge Treatment (BESST) advanced treatment facility has been proposed to be located adjacent to the existing facility, with construction performed to allow for the existing facility to continue operating throughout the construction period. This type of treatment facility was chosen in order to minimize the additional land requirements for the new facility and has been successfully implemented at a number of locations in the area. After construction of the new facility, the existing facility would then be removed. The design flow for the new plant would be 100,000 GPD, and the proposed type of treatment facility would meet the more stringent intermittent stream SPDES effluent limits, based upon previous approvals for similar sized facilities in conformance with Recommended Standards for Sewage Works. This would be done in conjunction with I&I improvements to the collection system in order to support the original design flowrates. The new plant would consist of duplicate units, including flow equalization tank prior to treatment. The treatment components would include consisting of two (2) 50,000 GPD plants each with anoxic zone with duplex submersible mixers, aeration zone with aeration piping and diffusers and upflow design clarifiers with effluent trough and weir and airlift sludge returns and surface skimmers. One (1) post aeration tank will be provided at the end of one (1) of the BESST plants. There will also be included a separate prefabricated steel 30,000 gallon equalization tank with integral 20,000 gallon aerated sludge holding tank. One (1) Enaqua non - contact UV system will be provided consisting of two (2) channels having 100% redundancy. Two (2) microscreen drum filters with media will be provided for tertiary filtration. An emergency E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION PAGE 5 JUNE 2017 generator with automatic transfer switch would also be provided for the treatment facility. 3.1.2 Connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF This alternative would include the installation of a new pump station located near the current plant headworks. The station would be designed for average day flows of 100,000 GPD. This would be done in conjunction with I&I improvements to the collection system in order to support the original design flowrates. Force main would be installed from the pump station to a gravity sewer connection located at the Woodhill Green Condominiums parcel. Gravity sewer main would be installed from the Woodhill Green Condominiums to the proposed connection to the Village of Wappingers Falls gravity main located along North Meiser Avenue. The existing gravity main within the Village of Wappingers Falls connects to a Tri -Municipal pump station that conveys wastewater to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. The Tri -Municipal pump station and WWTF are owned and operated by the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission, which is a governmental entity that services the United Wappinger Sewer District (UWSD). The pump station would be two vacuum primed pumps rated at 275 gpm and a 6 foot diameter precast concrete wet well with float controls and alarm conditions. An emergency generator would be provided as a source of backup power for the pump station. Approximately 3,330 feet of six inch (6") diameter PVC force main and 1,040 feet of eight inch (8") diameter PVC gravity sewer would be required to connect from Wildwood into the existing manhole located on North Meiser Avenue within the Village of Wappingers Falls. This alternative is shown in Appendix C of this report. The Town of Wappinger will construct, own and operate the new Wildwood pump station, force main and gravity sewer. Easements will be obtained in favor of the Town where any new utilities are located on private property. The Town of Wappinger will also be responsible for the demolition of the Wildwood WWTF. 3.1.3 Connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF with Woodhill Green This alternative would include all of the components for the replacement and connection of Wildwood to the Tri -Municipal WWTF listed above, along with the connection of the Woodhill Green Condominiums. No additional upgrades would be required E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION PAGE 6 JUNE 2017 to the Wildwood connection components to allow for connection of Woodhill Green. Woodhill Green is a condominium community of low -to -moderate income individuals, many are retirees, which was built in the early 1960's. The reported population of the Woodhill Green complex is approximately 483 people. There are reportedly 144 housing units, comprised of 44 one bedrooms, 76 two bedrooms, and 24 three bedroom units. Woodhill Green owns and maintains an on-site wastewater treatment facility which is reported to be in need of repair. Daily water usage is approximately 35,000 GPD and for the purposes of this report, daily sewage rates are also assumed to be approximately 35,000 GPD. In order to connect Woodhill Green, a new pump station would be required near the current plant headworks. The station would be designed for average day flows of 35,000 GPD. The station would discharge via a new force main to the new Wildwood gravity main located on Woodhill Green property. This is also shown in Appendix C of this report. The pump station would be two vacuum primed pumps rated at 110 gpm and a 6 foot diameter precast concrete wet well with float controls and alarm conditions. An emergency generator would be provided as a source of backup power. Approximately 910 feet of four inch (4") diameter PVC force main would be required to connect from the pump station to the gravity line at the Woodhill Green Condominiums. The Town of Wappinger will construct, own and operate the new Woodhill Green pump station and force main, which will be located in easements in favor of the Town. The owners of the Woodhill Green Condominiums will be responsible for the demolition of the existing Woodhill Green WWTF and ownership/maintenance of all sewer facilities outside of the pump station and force main connection. 3.2 Cost Estimates Capital cost estimates were prepared for each alternative and appear in Appendix D of this report. This includes both construction costs and non - construction costs (legal, engineering, administrative and contingencies). Also included in Appendix D are the estimated Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs for each alternative. All estimates included the E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION PAGE 7 JUNE 2017 costs for use of energy efficient equipment items as part the design requirements for any proposed improvements. Each cost estimate below includes the following common work: 1. Demolition of the existing Wildwood WWTF, 2. 1&1 improvements to the Wildwood collection system. In addition, the following connection costs are included in the alternatives involving connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF: 1. Buy -in fee for sewer capacity within the Village of Wappingers Falls collection system. 2. Buy -in fee for sewer capacity within the United Wappinger Sewer District (UWSD) associated with the TMSC pump station and WWTF. 3.2.1 Construction of a New Wastewater Treatment Facility The total capital cost for this alternative is estimated to be approximately $5,494,000. The total estimated benefit units for Wildwood is: 230+2+3+1+18+100= 354 benefit units. The capital cost per estimated benefit unit would be approximately $15,520. The budgeted 2017 total annual O&M costs for the Wildwood Sewer District are approximately $179,602 and it is anticipated that these costs will not change for the construction of a replacement WWTF. This equates to an estimated O&M cost of $179,602/354 = $508/year for a typical parcel within Wildwood. 3.2.2 Connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF The total capital cost for this alternative is estimated to be approximately $5,318,000, including buy in costs for sewer capacity for the UWSD associated with connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. The capital cost per estimated benefit unit would be approximately $15,023. The 2016 annual O&M costs for the existing UWSD, which includes areas within the Town that currently discharge to the Tri -Municipal WWTF, is approximately $229/year for a typical single family residence assessed one (1) benefit unit. It is assumed that this would be representative of the O&M costs for this alternative. 3.2.3 Connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF with Woodhill Green The total capital cost for this alternative is estimated to be approximately $6,212,000 including buy in costs for sewer capacity E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION PAGE 8 JUNE 2017 for the UWSD associated with connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF for both Wildwood and Woodhill Green. The total estimated benefit units for Wildwood is 354 benefit units, while the total estimated benefit units for Woodhill Green would be 144 benefit units for the 144 units, utilizing the existing UWSD benefit unit formula. This would result in a total of 498 benefit units for the combined area. The capital cost per estimated benefit unit would be approximately $12,474 under this alternative. The 2016 annual O&M costs for the existing UWSD, which includes areas within the Town that currently discharge to the Tri -Municipal WWTF, is approximately $229/year for a typical single family residence assessed one (1) benefit unit. It is assumed that this would be representative of the O&M costs for this alternative. 3.3 Recommendations In comparing the alternatives in this section, the capital costs are slightly lower and the annual O&M costs are significantly lower for Wildwood to proceed with the connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF, than to construct a new treatment facility. As the assumed service life of 30 years would apply for both alternatives, lower life cycle costs would also apply for connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. For the addition of Woodhill Green, although the total capital costs for inclusion of Woodhill Green are somewhat higher than the total capital costs for just the Wildwood connection to Tri -Municipal WWTF, the capital cost per typical parcel with the inclusion of Woodhill Green is significantly lower. This is due to having a gravity sewer connection location at the Woodhill Green Condominiums, allowing for the direct connection of a large number of nearby customers from Woodhill Green. Since this alternative will result in the lowest total annual costs for the Wildwood Sewer District and will also provide needed sewer service for Woodhill Green Condominiums, it is recommended that this alternative be pursued. It should be noted from an operational standpoint both the Town of Wappinger, representing the Wildwood Sewer District, and the Woodhill Green Condominiums would prefer not to have to operate and maintain separate wastewater treatment facilities. Utilizing existing sewage treatment capacity and consolidation of sewer systems is also preferred by regulatory agencies. This project is considered beneficial to the Village of Wappingers Falls, as this will eliminate existing wastewater discharges to upstream areas of the Wappinger Creek that may have impacts to downstream existing water bodies within the Village of Wappingers Falls, including Wappinger Lake. E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION PAGE 9 JUNE 2017 The Village water supply wells are located on a parcel adjacent to Wappinger Lake, so minimizing any impacts to the Lake would be beneficial in protecting the Village water source. The proposed alternative will be subject to approval of the Town of Wappinger, the Village of Wappingers Falls and the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission. An inter -municipal agreement will be completed and signed by both municipalities to define the requirements for the connection. The Town of Wappinger will need to inform the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission of the increased flow and pay the additional costs for the treatment of the sewage, which is included in the UWSD buy -in fee. An agreement will also be completed and signed between the Town of Wappinger and Woodhill Green Condominiums for allowing the Woodhill Green Condominiums to discharge to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR PAGE 10 WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION JUNE 2017 4.0 PROJECT COSTS AND SCHEDULE 4.1 Capital Costs and Cost Allocations The breakdown of capital costs for the recommended alternative of connection of the Wildwood Sewer District to the Tri -Municipal WWTF, with connection of the Woodhill Green Condominiums, is shown in Appendix D. These costs include all the legal, engineering and other such administrative costs as well as the construction costs and buy in costs for UWSD sewer capacity for connection to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. The total capital costs for this alternative are estimated at $6,212,000. It is proposed to utilize the existing benefit unit assessment for the United Wappinger Sewer District for assessment of the capital costs to be applied for any parcels within Wildwood or Woodhill Green that discharge to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. This is the same assessment that is currently used for the Wildwood Sewer District. A copy of this benefit assessment is included in Appendix E of this report. As this is an Intermunicipal project between the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, a grant from the New York State Intermunicipal Water Infrastructure Grants Program will be applied for through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). This project involves connection of facilities located in the Town of Wappinger to existing facilities located in the Village of Wappingers Falls, along with the use of existing collection facilities within the Village of Wappingers Falls to connect to the Tri -Municipal pump station, which conveys wastewater to the Tri -Municipal WWTF. This project is considered to be a qualified project for this grant, as the total projects costs are less than $10 million, the Town of Wappinger will be the lead municipality on this project (the majority of system components will be installed within the Town of Wappinger), and assuming that a grant is awarded, any additional NYSEFC financing will only be eligible for market - rate financing. 4.2 Project Schedule The following schedule has been developed for this project on the basis that a grant will be obtained for the project by the end of August 2017: Item — Description Proposed Completion Date Submit Design Plans and Specifications April 2018 Revise Plans/Specs, Obtain DOH Approval August 2018 Bid Project October 2018 Complete Construction October 2019 E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21619 Wildwood Wastewater Plant\Engr Report\Engineers Report_Wildwood_062117.doc /_1»4kiIQKI_1 n TOWN OF POUGHKEEPS/E -1P LAZ/ 3 14111 D 1/1/0 .E S 7P DWG co � VVILL. 0P OF J WAPP/LAGER FALLS N to ®I 0 0 3 I 0 0 L _ 0 0 REV.

An alternate proposed manner of financing the cost of this Improvement will be by participation in the New York State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund. The Town has been advised that it qualifies for funding through this program and will be included in the program's Fall 1999 loan pool, provided this application is approved. A copy of a letter dated December 29, 1998, from the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation to the Town's Engineers indicating that the Town will be in the Fall 1999 loan pool is attached hereto and made part hereof marked and designated Exhibit "E." 7. An estimate of the cost of operating and maintaining the proposed improvements, including the basis and source of such estimate is detailed on Page 42, Table E, in the Engineer's Map, Plan and Report dated September 14, 1998 (Exhibit "C"). 8. The assessments for the proposed Improvement will be made on a benefit basis. The formula is as follows: A. lands benefited by the Improvement will be assigned Benefit Units; B. benefited parcels will be categorized into one of two classes s RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, or, INDUSTRIAL, INSTITUTIONAL OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES; C. a Residential Properties will be assigned Benefit Units as follows: D. (1) a single family dwelling 1.0 Benefit and lot not to exceed 2 = Unit. acres 3 (2) vacant residential land not to exceed 2 acres (3) additional vacant resi- dential acreage within one parcel 0.8 Benefit Unit. 0.2 Benefit Unit per additional acre thereof. * *(e.g. a house on a 3 -acre parcel would be assigned 1.2 Benefit Units; a house on a 5 - acre parcel would be assigned 1.6 Benefit Units). (4) condominium, 1.0 Benefit Unit apartment or multi- = per dwelling unit. family dwelling unit E. Industrial, Institutional or Commercial Properties will be assigned Benefit Units as follows: (1) Each year the proportionate ratio of Industrial, Institutional or Commercial assessments to the total assessment within the Improvement Area is first determined. This ratio will then determine the percentage of the total capital costs of the Improvement to be paid by those parcels, categorized as Industrial, Institutional or Commercial- properties. (E.g. If the total assessed valuation of all properties within the Improvement Area is One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000), comprised of Seven Hundred Million Dollars ($700,000,000) in Residential assessments and Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000) in Industrial, Institutional or Commercial assessments, then the ratio is 3/10; therefore, 30% of the capital costs for that year would be paid by the Industrial, Institutional or Commercial properties located within the Improvement Area.) (2) Once the percentage/ratio is determined, then the number of Benefit Units allocated to the Industrial, Institutional or Commercial class is calculated by interpolating from the known number of Residential Benefit Units, calculated pursuant to subparagraph "D" above, as follows (assume the known number of Residential Benefit Units equals 1,000): In Town of Wappinger, NY Page 1 of Town of Wappinger, NY Tuesday, October 74, 2074 Chapter 236.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Summary This report has evaluated the feasibility of installing a water supply connection from the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System to the Woodhill Green Condominiums, located in the Town of Wappinger. It is proposed to provide an 8" water connection from the existing Village of Wappingers Falls distribution main located on North Meiser Avenue to the existing Woodhill Green water distribution system, as this is the closest connection point for a municipal water supply from Woodhill Green. Due to the higher elevations at Woodhill Green, a booster pump will be installed from the existing Village distribution system. A meter vault will also be provided at the point of connection into Woodhill Green. Cost breakdowns are included in this report for the proposed connection. The breakdown of capital costs for the proposed connection is shown in Table 5-1 and the total capital costs for the connection are estimated at $1,108,000. These costs include all the legal, engineering and other such administrative costs as well as the pipeline and appurtenances that would be installed. As this is an inter -municipal project between the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, an Inter -municipal Water Infrastructure Grants Program (IMG) will be applied for through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). Assuming that a grant is obtained by the end of August 2017, the proposed schedule calls for completion of this project by the end of May 2019.

INTRODUCTION 2.1 Background Woodhill Green is a condominium community of low -to -moderate income individuals, many are retirees, which was built in the early 1960's. The condominium is located within the Town of Wappinger. The reported population of the Woodhill Green complex is approximately 483 people. There are reportedly 144 housing units, comprised of 44 one bedrooms, 76 two bedrooms, and 24 three bedroom units. Woodhill Green owns and maintains an on-site water treatment facility which is reported to be in need of repair. Daily water usage is approximately 35,000 gallons per day (GPD). The condominium has previously expressed interest in connecting to an existing central water supply and not having to continue to operate and maintain its own on-site facilities. The closest location to an existing municipal water system would be the Village of Wappingers Falls water distribution system located along North Meiser Avenue. 2.2 Purpose and Scope This report provides information on the proposed connection components between the Woodhill Green Condominium and Village of Wappingers Falls Water system. E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21613 Capital Infrastructure\Emergency Interconnections\V_O_WappingersFalls_WoodhillGreen_Connection_Report June 21 2017.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT —WOODHILL GREEN CONNECTION PAGE - 3 - VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS WATER SYSTEM JUNE 2017 III. EXISTING FACILITIES 3.1 Current Flows for the Village of Wappingers Falls Based upon information provided by the Village of Wappingers Falls Water Department, the 2015 average day demand for the system was approximately 0.54 million gallons per day (MGD). The Village has indicated that there is enough existing excess capacity to supply 35,000 GPD of water to Woodhill Green. 3.2 Capacity Analysis for Village of Wappingers Falls Water System The 2015 Annual Water Quality Report for the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System was utilized for the capacity analysis and is included in Appendix A of this report. The report noted the following: The existing well supplies consist of three active wells, with reported capacities of 600 gallons per minute (GPM), 600 GPM and 150 GPM. The well capacity with the best well out of service would be approximately 750 GPM. The recently completed Village of Wappingers Falls water treatment facility has a reported capacity of 700 GPM. This would equate to a maximum day capacity of approximately 1.0 MGD, versus an average day demand of 0.54 MGD. The treatment capacity appears to be the limiting factor with respect to system capacity within the Village system. The 2015 Annual Water Quality Report for the Village of Wappingers Falls noted that there a total of two (2) active storage tanks, with a combined capacity of 1.94 million gallons. 3.3 Distribution System In terms of the distribution system, the water distribution piping consists of water main from 6" to 10" in diameter within the Village of Wappingers Falls. The estimated hydraulic grade line (HGL) of the Village of Wappingers Falls water system is at 259, based upon hydrant readings conducted in April 2017. The existing water main at the proposed connection location is 6" water main. This will result in limited peak flow capacities that can be delivered to Woodhill Green. For the purposes of this study, the design peak flow demand for the proposed connection will be less than or equal to 500 GPM, which is the minimum flowrate for a fire rated water distribution system.

PROPOSED EXTENSION 4.1 General A plan noting the proposed connection between the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System and the Woodhill Green Condominiums is included in Appendix B of this report. This layout will be the easiest to implement and will also have the lowest project costs, as this represents the shortest possible connection route to supply municipal water to Woodhill Green. It should be noted that Woodhill Green Condominiums would prefer not to have to operate and maintain separate water treatment facilities. Utilizing existing water system capacity and consolidation of water systems is also preferred by regulatory agencies. 4.2 Proaosed Connection Comaonents A proposed 8" water main connection will be provided between the existing 6" distribution main along North Meiser Avenue near NYS Route 9 and the existing water main within Woodhill Green. In order to supply water to the higher elevations within Woodhill Green, booster pumps will be installed to boost the pressures by 22 psi to match the difference in elevations between the locations. A triplex variable frequency drive (VFD) booster pump system is proposed for maximum energy efficiency, which will be set to provide a constant outlet system pressure when in operation. The booster pump station will be located along North Mesier Avenue on existing Village property in the Village of Wappingers Falls. The proposed booster pump station will also improve existing system pressures within the North Mesier Avenue and List Road areas of the Village of Wappingers Falls distribution system. An emergency generator will be provided as a source of backup power for the pump station. The proposed water main connection will become part of a separate Town of Wappinger Water District. The District will construct all of the proposed improvements, including the connection and booster pump station, which will be located in easements in favor of the District. The booster pump station components, located within the Village, will be owned, operated and maintained by the Village, while the remaining components will be owned, operated and maintained by the District. The owners of the Woodhill Green Condominiums will be responsible for the demolition of the existing Woodhill Green water supply and treatment facility, along with ownership/maintenance of all water facilities within Woodhill Green outside of the water main connection. A meter pit will be included at the point of connection to the existing Woodhill Green water main. E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21613 Capital Infrastructure\Emergency Interconnections\V_O_WappingersFalls_WoodhillGreen_Connection_Report June 21 2017.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT —WOODHILL GREEN CONNECTION PAGE - 6 - VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS WATER SYSTEM JUNE 2017 The installation work will be within the Village R.O.W. and within easement areas on Village of Wappingers Falls and Woodhill Green property. The proposed connection will be subject to review and approval of the New York State/Dutchess County Department of Health. The proposed connection will be subject to approval of both the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, as Woodhill Green is located within the Town of Wappinger. An inter -municipal agreement has been signed by both entities to define the requirements for this connection. An agreement will also be completed and signed between the Town of Wappinger and Woodhill Green Condominiums for allowing the Woodhill Green Condominiums to be supplied water through a Town Water District by the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System.

PROJECT COSTS AND SCHEDULE 5.1 Capital Costs The breakdown of the estimated capital costs for the proposed connection are shown in Table 5-1. These costs include all the legal, engineering and other such administrative costs as well as the pipeline and appurtenances that would be installed. The total capital costs for the connection are estimated at $1,108,000. It is proposed to utilize the same benefit unit assessment as for the United Wappinger Water District (UWWD) in assessment of the capital costs to be applied for any parcels within Woodhill Green that receive water from the Village of Wappingers Falls through the Water District. This would equate to 144 benefit units for the 144 housing units within Woodhill Green. As this is an inter -municipal project between the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, an Inter -municipal Water Infrastructure Grants Program (IMG) will be applied for through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). This interconnection project is considered to be a qualified project for this grant, as the total projects costs are less than $3 million, the Town of Wappinger will be the lead municipality on this project (Woodhill Green is located within the Town of Wappinger), and assuming that a grant is awarded, any additional DWSRF financing will only be eligible for market -rate financing. 5.2 Proposed Schedule The following schedule has been developed for this project on the basis that a grant will be obtained for the project by the end of August 2017: Item — Description Proposed Completion Date Submit Design Plans and Specifications February 2018 Revise Plans/Specs, Obtain DOH Approval June 2018 Bid Project August 2018 Complete Construction May 2019 E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21613 Capital Infrastructure\Emergency Interconnections\V_O_WappingersFalls_WoodhillGreen_Connection_Report June 21 2017.doc TABLE 5-1 WOODHILL GREEN CONNECTION TO VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS CAPITAL COST ESTIMATE June 2, 2017 Item 8" Water Main and Appurtances Meter Vault at Woodhill Green Boring Across Route 9 Wet Taps Building Controls and Electrical Building Piping, Valves, Supports Booster Pump Building/Vault (12'x20'), Site Impr., Generator Tri-Plex VFD Booster Pump, Each at 250 GPM @50 FT TDH Units Unit Cost Quantity L.

The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. Last year, your tap water met all State drinking water health standards. We are proud to report that our system did not violate a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standard. This report provides an overview of last year's water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact the office of the Village of Wappinger Falls Water Department, 2582 South Avenue, Wappingers Falls, New York 12590, (845) 297-8773, extension 8. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend our regularly scheduled meetings of the Village Board of Water Commissioners on the Monday before the second Wednesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. at the new Water Treatment Facility located at 2784 West Main Street, Wappingers Falls, New York. WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic and chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Until December 28, 2011 the Village water supply was purchased from and provided by the City/ Town of Poughkeepsie Joint Water Board via the interconnection on DeLavergne Avenue. As of December 28, 2011 use of the interconnection was discontinued. All water is now supplied by the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility. Construction of the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility began in the Spring of 2010, and was completed in December of 2011. The Plant began providing finished water to the Village customers on December 28, 2011. The source of the water provided by the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility is from three (3) active wells located at the 8.0 acre Village wellfield. t. -I- • Wells gland 92 (inactive) were both formally abandoned in 2010/11. • Well 93 is a 12" x 18" gravel pack type well 95 feet in depth, originally constructed in 1959 and re -drilled in 1997. Well 93 was previously taken off line in October 2006. It was placed back into service beginning on September 13, 2011 with the ability to produce approximately 150 gpm. Well # 3 was again taken offline in October of 2013 due to an increase in manganese content, and remained offline for all of 2015. • Well 44 (inactive) is a 12" x 18" gravel pack type well 100 feet in depth, originally constructed in 1965 and re - drilled in 1997. Well 94 was taken offline in October of 2003 due to an increase in iron content. • Well 45 (inactive) is a 24" x 30" gravel pack type well, 105 feet in depth, originally constructed in 1984. Well 95 was taken off line in 1994 due to significant increases in iron content. • Well 47 and 47A are both 16" x 24" gravel pack type wells. Well 47 is 99 feet in depth and was originally constructed in 2005. Well 97A is 98 feet in depth and was originally constructed in 2010. Both wells were tested for production and water quality immediately following their construction, and were deemed adequate for drinking water purposes. Each well was tested at a production rate of approximately 600 gallons of water per minute. Further analysis confirmed that either well can produce a maximum flow of 600 GPM of water under theoretical drought conditions. Both Well 97 and 97A were placed into service on September 13, 2011 The new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Plant utilizes state of the art technology to treat the well water supply. This includes softening of up to 700 gallons per minute (GPM) utilizing an ion exchange type softener system. Raw water hardness is approximately 19 grains, and finished water hardness is approximately 7 - 8 grains. Disinfection is provided through the use of ultraviolet light reactors, followed by a minimal dose of chlorine to provide a satisfactory residual throughout the distribution system. The Plant facilities and wells are partially automated, and controlled via a Supervisory Control System (SCADA). The Plant is rated at a maximum production capacity of approximately 1 million gallons per day (MGD). Starting in September of 2015 (under the direction of the Village Engineer, and with the approval of the Dutchess County Health Department) the Water Plant began adding "Carus 8100" (a blended ortho / polyphosphate) to the finished water. This water treatment chemical acts as a manganese sequestrant and corrosion inhibitor. This treatment addition was made in anticipation of putting Well # 3 back online as a production well in the Spring of 2016. The Village of Wappingers Falls water storage facilities consist of three (3) tanks. • The Wenliss Tank has a capacity of 1.4 million gallons. • The DeLavergne Tank has a capacity of 545,000 gallons. • The Hillside Tank (inactive) has a capacity of 170,000 gallons. During 2015 our system did not experience any restriction of our water source. (Well # 3 was taken offline in October of 2013 due to an increase in manganese content, and remained offline for all of 2015). The NYSDOH has completed a source water assessment for this system, based on available information. Possible and actual threats to this drinking water source were evaluated. The state source water assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the subsurface to the wells. The susceptibility rating is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water delivered to consumer is, or will become contaminated. See section "Are there contaminants in our drinking water?" for a list of the contaminants that have been detected, if any. The source water assessments provide resource managers with additional information for protecting source waters into the future. The source water assessment has rated our well field water source as having an elevated susceptibility to microbial and nitrate contamination. These ratings are due primarily to the residential land use and related activities in the assessment area. In addition, the wells draw from the sand and gravel aquifer, and the overlying soils may not provide adequate protection from potential contamination. The county and state health departments will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning and education programs. -2 t. FACTS AND FIGURES: The Village of Wappingers Falls Municipal Water System serves an estimated 5,522 (2010 Census figure) people through approximately 1,520 service connections. In 2015 the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility had a total treated water output of approximately 197.5 million gallons, or 540,982 gallons per average day. The total billed water during the same period was approximately 157.2 million gallons, or 430,570 gallons per average day. Estimated losses, municipal usage, flushing of the water system, fire- fighting usage, and/or non -billed water theft accounted for approximately 40.3 million gallons (20.4 % ±). In 2015, Village of Wappingers Falls residential users were charged a bi-monthly base rate of S 40.31 per unit (S 20.16 for seniors). Additionally, residential users were billed based on bi-monthly water meter readings at the rate of S 2.21 per 100 cubic feet of water (or 748 gallons) up to 1200 cubic feet, and S 4.51 per 100 cubic feet over 1200 cubic feet. ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State regulations require, the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System routinely tests your drinking water for numerous contaminants. Testing is performed in conformance with the provisions of Part 5 of the New York State Sanitary Code. Subsequent to the completion of the new Village Water Treatment Facility, a new testing protocol was implemented with the Dutchess County Health Department. A brief outline of said testing is as follows. • Daily Sampling: Both the source (raw) water and the finished treated water are tested each day for iron, manganese, hardness and total phosphate. The distribution system is tested each day for free chlorine residual. The UV disinfection system continuously tests finished (treated) water to insure adequate dosage. • Microbiologgical: Six (6) total samples are collected and analyzed for coliform bacteria monthly. • Chloride: 1 sample to be taken yearly at entry point. • Iron: 1 sample to be taken each calendar quarter from the entry point and 1 sample to be collected yearly from the raw well water. • Manganese: 1 sample to be taken each calendar quarter from the entry point and 1 sample to be collected yearly from the raw well water. • Nitrate: 1 sample to be taken yearly at the entry point. • Lead and Copper: 20 samples to be taken from the distribution system. • Radiological Samples: 1 sample to be taken every nine years from the entry point. • Primary Inorzanic Chemicals: 1 sample to be taken from the entry point every three years. • Disinfection Byproducts: 1 sample to be taken yearly from a sampling point representing the maximum residence time in the distribution system. • Principle Or,-anic Chemicals (POC's): 1 sample to be taken yearly from the raw well water. • Synthetic Organic Chemicals (SOC's): Waiver issued by DCHD on 12/18/12 until 12/31/15. • Sodium: 1 sample to be taken yearly at entry point. • Asbestos: 1 sample to be taken every nine years from the distribution system. • Total Phosphate: 1 sample to be taken quarterly from the distribution system (added 9/04/15). Complete analytic results are available for public inspection at the offices of the Village of Wappingers Falls Water Department, 2582 South Avenue, Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 (845) 297-8773. t. -3- The following table depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old.

A percentile is a value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to or below it. The 90' percentile is equal to or greater than 90 % of the lead / copper values detected in your water system. hi this case, 20 samples were collected at your water system and the 90' percentile value was the 18' highest value. The Action Level for lead was exceeded at two (2) of the sites tested, or 10 %. The Action Level for copper was not exceeded. These are the most recent results as required by the local Health Dept. 2) Water containing more than 20 mg / L of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on severely restricted sodium diets (this is noted on the bimonthly bills). Water containing more than 270 mg / L of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on moderately restricted sodium diets. -4- t. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or the Dutchess County Health Department at (845) 486-3400. DEFINITIONS: • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL's are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible. • Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG's allow for a margin of safety. • Maximum Residual Disinfection Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefit of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contamination. • Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements, which a water system must follow. • Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. • Non -Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. • Nephelometric Turbidity Unit) NTU): A measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. • Milligrams per liter (mg -/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one million parts of liquid (parts per million - ppm) • Micrograms per liter (u, -/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one billion parts of liquid (parts per billion - ppb) • Nanograms per liter (n, -/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid to one trillion parts of liquid (parts per trillion — ppt) • Picocuries per Liter (pCi/L): A measure of the radioactivity in Water. • Millirems per year (mrem/yr): A measure of radiation absorbed by the body. • Million Fibers per Liter (MFL): A measure of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? As you can see from the previous table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that some of the listed contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below New York State requirements. We are required to present the following information on lead in drinking water: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women, infants and young children. It is possible that lead levels in your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. The Village of Wappingers Falls Water system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested (by your lab at your own expense). Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the safe drinking Water Hotline (1-800- 426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead". -5— t. IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES GOVERNING OPERATIONS? During 2015, the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System was in compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements. DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ? Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno -compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidum, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). In general, the use of water softeners creates the possibility of increasing the sodium content in the finished water. As per NYS Drinking Water Part 5 "Water containing more than 20 mg/1 of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on severely restricted sodium diets. Water containing more than 270 mg/l of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on moderately restricted sodium diets". The most recent sodium level for our finished water was 140 mg/1(10/30/15). As required, this information is provided on the bi-monthly billing statements.

WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water. Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life. Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire -fighting needs are met. You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: • Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. • Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. • Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it up and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. • Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year • Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances. Then check the meter after 15 minutes. If the red dial on the bottom right of the new style meters moves, you have a leak. t. I on SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS: JANUARY 2015 - DECEMBER 2015: In 2015 the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System made the following capital improvements: • Ongoing fine tuning of the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility. • Completion of a new 8" DIP water main, valves, hydrants and appurtenances on Market Street from Dutchess Terrace to the southerly Village boundary (1100 feet) and McKinley Street (560 feet), • Continued replacement of commercial water service meters, and residential service meters/ radio read transmitters • Continued with cross connection control ordinance enforcement and backflow prevention device testing program. Continued with disconnecting of water supply lines to sewer flush tanks. Ongoing repair and replacement of faulty line valves, curb valves / boxes, and water services. FUTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: The Mayor and Village Board of Trustees, in coordination with the Village Engineer and the Village Water and Highway Departments has adopted a capital improvement plan to replace water mains, sewer mains, and to reconstruct streets (including street surface replacement, curbs, sidewalks and drainage) throughout the Village.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Summary PAGE -1 - JUNE 2017 This report has evaluated the feasibility of installing an emergency interconnection between the United Wappinger Water District (UWWD) and the Village of Wappingers Falls. It is proposed to provide an 8" water interconnection between the two (2) systems, with the major equipment components located in a proposed building near the connection point to the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System. This will include 2 separate lines at the interconnection point with check valves included in opposite directions to allow flow from either the UWWD to the Village of Wappingers Falls or from the Village of Wappingers Falls to the UWWD. Pressure reducing valves will be required for supplying water from the UWWD and booster pumps will be required for supplying water from the Village of Wappingers Falls, due to the difference in system pressures. Cost breakdowns are included in this report for the proposed interconnection. The breakdown of capital costs for the proposed extension areas is shown in Table 5-1. These costs include all the legal, engineering and other such administrative costs as well as the pipeline and appurtenances that would be installed. The total capital costs for the emergency interconnection are estimated at $1,709,000, and will be paid for by the UWWD and the Village of Wappingers Falls in conformance with the Intermunicipal Agreement. As this is an inter -municipal project between the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, an Inter -municipal Water Infrastructure Grants Program (IMG) will be applied for through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). Assuming that a grant is obtained by the end of August 2017, the proposed schedule calls for completion of this project by the end of May 2019.

INTRODUCTION 2.1 Background PAGE -2 - JUNE 2017 The United Wappinger Water District (UWWD) is a Town Water District that currently serves approximately 14,000 customers (people) in the Town of Wappinger. There are three (3) separate water treatment facilities that supply the UWWD. The Atlas site includes a total of 6 wells, the Hilltop site includes a total of 4 wells, and the Meadowwood site that includes a total of 2 wells. The Atlas and Hilltop locations have been recently connected by a 16" transmission line between the facilities. Each facility includes treatment, consisting of hypochlorite disinfection, along with storage tanks at Hilltop. The distribution system generally consists mainly of ductile iron water main, with some transite (asbestos cement) pipe, along with hydrants, valves and services. All parcels are now metered. The Town has previously expressed interest in establishing emergency interconnections with adjacent municipal supplies, which could provide an alternative source of potable water to either Municipality in case of an emergency. For the UWWD, the closest location to the Village of Wappingers water system is at the intersection of Losee Road and Aladdin Court. The nearest location within the existing Village of Wappingers Falls system is at the southeastern end of the existing distribution system near Myers Corners Road. Installation of a water main connection between these locations would allow for an emergency interconnection to be established between the facilities. 2.2 Purpose and Scope This report provides information on the proposed emergency interconnection components between the UWWD and Village of Wappingers Falls.

EXISTING FACILITIES PAGE -3 - JUNE 2017 3.1 Current and Future Flows of the existing United Wappinger Water District The current estimated demands for the UWWD in million gallons per day (MGD) are as follows: From AWQR Ave Day Demand Max Day Demand Ratio Max/Ave 2014 Demands 0.964 MGD 1.6 MGD 1.66 2015 Demands 0.907 MGD 1.8 MGD 1.98 2 Yr Average: 0.936 MGD 1.7 MGD 1.82 Using an projected 16% increase in future demands as developed from previous Engineering studies, the estimated future average day demand would be 1.086 MGD and estimated future maximum day demand for the UWWD would be 1.972 MGD. The additional demands from other pending water system extensions are as follows using the 1.82 ratio of average to maximum day demand: Develooment Ave Dav Demand Max Dav Demand Chelsea Hamlet 0.053 MGD 0.096 MGD Hilltop Village 0.063 MGD 0.114 MGD The Ridges 0.003 MGD 0.005 MGD Tall Trees 0.020 MGD 0.036MGD (When Connected) Totals: 0.139 MGD 0.251 MGD The estimated future average day demands with pending extensions would be approximately 1.225 MGD and estimated future maximum day demands would be approximately 2.223 MGD. 3.2 Capacity Analysis for the United Wappinger Water District Included in Appendix A of this report is background information on the UWWD. Previous reports have also been prepared on the UWWD sources. To summarize those reports: The existing well supplies consist of the Atlas, Hilltop and Meadowwood wells, with separate water treatment facilities located adjacent to each well field. The source capacity is the limiting factor with respect to system capacity within the UWWD. With the inclusion of the Meadowwood wells, the well capacity with the best well out of service is reported to be 2150 gallons per minute (GPM) or 3.10 MGD. Allowing for a 10% reserve capacity would reduce this value to 2.79 MGD and result in an excess maximum day capacity of (2.79-2.22) approximately 0.57 MGD. Using the maximum to average demand ratio EAdocuments\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21613 Capital Infrastructure\Emergency Interconnections\UWWD_V_O_WappingersFalls_Connection_Report June 21 2017.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT — V/O WAPPINGERS INTERCONNECTION PAGE - 4 - UNITED WAPPINGER WATER DISTRICT JUNE 2017 of 1.8 would result in a future average demand excess of capacity of approximately 0.32 MGD. It should be noted that the UWWD can provide much higher flows for short periods of time, based upon the available storage within the water system. The UWWD has a total of two (2) storage tanks, with reported operational capacities of 1.1 and 0.6 million gallons (MG), which equates to an excess capacity of 1.7-1.23 = 0.47 million gallons. 3.3 Village of Wappingers Falls Water System Demands and Capacity Based upon information provided by the Village of Wappingers Falls Water Department, the 2015 average day demand for the system was approximately 0.54 million gallons per day (MGD). The 2015 Annual Water Quality Report for the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System was utilized for the capacity analysis and is included in Appendix B of this report. The report noted the following: The existing well supplies consist of three active wells, with reported capacities of 600 gallons per minute (GPM), 600 GPM and 150 GPM. The well capacity with the best well out of service would be approximately 750 GPM. The recently completed Village of Wappingers Falls water treatment facility has a reported capacity of 700 GPM. This would equate to a maximum day capacity of approximately 1.0 MGD, versus an average day demand of 0.54 MGD. The treatment capacity appears to be the limiting factor with respect to system capacity within the Village system. The 2015 Annual Water Quality Report for the Village of Wappingers Falls noted that there a total of two (2) active storage tanks, with a combined capacity of 1.94 MG, which equates to an excess capacity of 1.94-0.54 = 1.40 million gallons. As this value is greater than the average day demand for the UWWD, the Village of Wappingers could provide water to the UWWD for a short period of time, based upon the existing excess available storage capacity within the Village system. 3.4 Distribution System In terms of the distribution system, the water distribution piping consists of water main from 8" to 16" in diameter within the UWWD and water main form 6" to 10" in diameter within the Village of Wappingers Falls. The estimated hydraulic grade line (HGL) of the UWWD is at 465, based upon the storage tank levels at Cider Mill, while the estimated HGL of the E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21613 Capital Infrastructure\Emergency Interconnections\UWWD_V_O_WappingersFalls_Connection_Report June 21 2017.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT — V/O WAPPINGERS INTERCONNECTION PAGE - 5 - UNITED WAPPINGER WATER DISTRICT JUNE 2017 Village of Wappingers Falls water system is at 259, based upon hydrant readings conducted in April 2017. The difference in operating HGL between the systems is approximately 206 ft or 89 psi, with the UWWD having higher pressures. The existing water main sizes at the proposed interconnection locations are 8" for both the UWWD and Village of Wappingers Falls distribution systems. This will limit the peak flow capacity of water that can be supplied through the proposed emergency interconnection. The lower pressures within the Village system will limit the peak flow capacities that could be transferred between the water systems. For the purposes of this study, the design peak flow demand for the proposed interconnection are projected to be less than or equal to 500 GPM, which is the minimum flowrate for a fire rated water distribution system. This results in the maximum estimated daily amount of water that could be transferred through the proposed emergency interconnection to be less than or equal to 720,000 gallons. This amount of water could be supplied on a short term emergency basis from either water system using existing excess source and/or storage capacity.

PROPOSED EXTENSION 4.1 General A plan noting the proposed interconnection location between the UWWD and Village of Wappingers Falls Water Systems is included in Appendix C of this report. A schematic of the proposed interconnection components between the systems is also included in Appendix C of this report. The proposed emergency interconnection equipment is proposed to be located along the connection route between the UWWD and the Village of Wappingers Falls. This layout will be the easiest to implement and will also have the lowest project costs, as this represents the shortest possible connection route between the water systems. 4.2 Proposed Emergency Interconnection Components A proposed 8" transmission water main interconnection will be provided between the existing 8" distribution water main within the UWWD at the intersection of Losee Road and Aladdin Court to the existing Village of Wappingers Falls system near Myers Corners Road in the vicinity of the Self -Storage Facility. There will be two (2) separate water lines provided in the interconnection building area, with check valves installed in opposite directions to allow flow in only one direction within each line. Each line will also be provided with a flow meter to allow for reporting and monitoring within the proposed Building. For the water emergency interconnection from the UWWD to the Village of Wappingers Falls, pressure reducing valves (PRV) in series will be included to reduce the discharge pressures to an initial HGL of 340 and final HGL of 259, matching the Village of Wappingers Falls distribution system settings. A flow control valve will also be included to allow for operation and monitoring of the amount of water transferred. For the water emergency interconnection from the Village of Wappingers Falls to the UWWD, booster pumps will be installed to boost the pressures by 89 psi to match the higher UWWD system pressures. A triplex variable frequency drive (VFD) booster pump system is proposed for maximum energy efficiency, which will be set to provide a constant outlet system pressure when in operation. The interconnection piping will require crossing of Myers Corners Road, which will be completed using Horizontal Directional Drilling with HDPE water main installed under the County Road. The installation work will be within Town or County Road R.O.W. within the Town of Wappinger and within easement areas at the connection point Village of Wappingers Falls. Purchase of additional property or easements will be required for the proposed building and connection of the water main from the Myers E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21613 Capital Infrastructure\Emergency Interconnections\UWWD_V_O_WappingersFalls_Connection_Report June 21 2017.doc ENGINEER'S REPORT — V/O WAPPINGERS INTERCONNECTION PAGE - 7 - UNITED WAPPINGER WATER DISTRICT JUNE 2017 Corners Road R.O.W. to the existing Village of Wappingers Falls water main located near Myers Corners Road. A building will be required to house the booster pumps, electrical service and controls for the interconnection. An emergency generator will be supplied to allow operation during power outages. The proposed emergency interconnection will be subject to review and approval of the New York State/Dutchess County Department of Health. The operation of the emergency interconnection will be subject to approval of both the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls. An inter- municipal agreement has been signed by both entities to define the requirements for using the emergency interconnection. Coordination between the system operators for each water system will be needed anytime the emergency interconnection is placed into service.

PROJECT COSTS AND SCHEDULE 5.1 Capital Costs The breakdown of capital costs for the proposed emergency interconnection is shown in Table 5-1. These costs include all the legal, engineering and other such administrative costs as well as the pipeline and appurtenances that would be installed. The total capital costs for the emergency interconnection are estimated at $1,709,000, and will be paid for by the UWWD and the Village of Wappingers Falls in conformance with the Intermunicipal Agreement. As this is an inter -municipal project between the Town of Wappinger and Village of Wappingers Falls, an Inter -municipal Water Infrastructure Grants Program (IMG) will be applied for through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). This interconnection project is considered to be a qualified project for this grant, as the total projects costs are less than $3 million, the Town of Wappinger will be the lead municipality on this project (the system components will be installed within the Town of Wappinger), and assuming that a grant is awarded, any additional DWSRF financing will only be eligible for market -rate financing. 5.2 Proposed Schedule The following schedule has been developed for this project on the basis that a grant will be obtained for the project by the end of August 2017: Item — Description Proposed Completion Date Submit Design Plans and Specifications Revise Plans/Specs, Obtain DOH Approval Bid Project Complete Construction February 2018 June 2018 August 2018 May 2019 E:\documents\T Wappinger\a W2016\W21613 Capital Infrastructure\Emergency Q Interconnections\UWWD_V_O_WappingersFalls_Connection_Report June 21 2017.doc TABLE 5-1 UWWD EMERGENCY INTERCONNECTION TO VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS CAPITAL COST ESTIMATE June 20, 2017 Item Units Unit Cost Quantity Total Cost 8" Water Main and Appurtances, Off Road L.

The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking Nvater and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. Last year, your tal) water met all State drinking water health standards. We are proud to report that our system did not violate a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standard. This repoil provides all overview of last year's water quality. Included are details about where your Nvater comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact CAA10 Pollution Conti-ol, Ile.. at (845) 463-7310. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend ally Of Our regularly scheduled village board meetings, The time and place of the regularly scheduled Town Board meetings may be obtained from Joseph Paoloni, Toivn Cleric, at (845) 297-5771. WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, tile Sources of drinking, water (both tap Nvater and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells, As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and call pick tip substances resulting ft-om the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public Nvater systems. The State Health Depailment's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Our water source is two major well fields: the Atlas Nvell field and the Hilltop well field. During 2014 our system did not experience any restriction of our water source. All of our water is treated with chlorine as a disinfectant to destroy microorganisms prior to distribution. I The water l7rom the Atlas well field is significaritly harder that the water from the Hilltop well field. It may be necessary to, adJust your sofiener, or to install a softener. The estimated hardness of your water is between 14 and 18 grains. SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT The New York State Flealth Department has completed a source water assessment For this system, based on available information, Possible and actual threats to this drinking water S01.11 -Ce were evaluated. The state source water assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the subsurface to the wells. The susceptibility rating is an estimated of the potential for contamination of the source water; it does not mean that the water delivered to the consumers is, or will become, contaminated. See the section "Sampling Results" for a list of the contaminants that have been detected, if art),. The source water assessments provide resource managers with additional informa(ion rot, protecting source waters into the future. The county and state health departments will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, and planning and education prograins. A copy of the assessment can be obtained by contacting its, as noted. North Wappinger Water (Atlas) Well Field SWAP Summary, The source water assessment has rated our water source as having an elevated susceptibility to microbial and nitrate contamination. These ratings are due primarily to the close proximity of the wells to a permitted discharge facility (iticlustrial/commercial facilities that discharge wastewater into C14 the environment and, are regulated 1)), the state and/or federal government) and the residential land use art(] related activities in (lie assessment area. In addition, the Nvells are located in art area prone to Q flooding. The county and state health departments will use this information to direct future water protection activities. Hilltop Water Well Field SWAP Summary The source water assessment has rated our water source as having an elevated susceptibility to microbials nitrates, salts, sulfate, industrial solvents, and other industrial contaminants. These ratings are due primarily to the close: proximity of the wells to a permitted discharge facility (industrial/coot mereial facilities that discharge wastewater into the environment and are regulated by the state and/or federal government) and the residential land use and related activities in the assessment area. In addition, the ivells are located in art area prone to flooding. While the source Nvater assessment has rated OL11- Wells as being susceptible to microbials, please note that OUr water is disinfected to ensure that the finished water delivered into your home, meets New York State's drinking Nvater standards For microbial contamination. Q E 2 I WWI 01,11' water SyStC111 serves 14,000 customers through 3,498 service connections. The total water produced in 2014 was 352 million gallons. The daily average of water treated and pumped into the distribution system was 964,000 gallons, per clay. 01.11- highest single clay was 1.6 million gallons. The estimated anioutit of water delivered to Otir customers Nvas 298 million gallons. This leaves an unacCOLInted total of 53 million gallons. This water was used for flushing mains, fighting fires, and leaks,. In 2014, water customers were billed a 111illillIL1111 of $52.,58 for tip to and including 2,500 cubic feet, with an additional charge of $1.20 per 100 cubic feet for anything over 2,500 cubic feet, ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State: regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: asbestos, total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trilialomethanes, haloacetic acids, radiological and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. S01110 Of OUr data, (1101.1gh representative, are more than One year old, It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking mater, may be reasonably ao expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants, The presence of contaminants does N not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and 0) potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426- uj 4791) or the Dutchess Comity Flealth Department at (845,) 486-3404.

Information an lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take tc inimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at I IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants oil a regular basis. Results of monitoring are ail indication of whether or not your driiiking water incets health standards. We, have a monitoring requirement of fifteen (I S) Total Coliform samples per month. In August 2014 only eleven (11) samples were collected. The remaining four (4) samples were taken in early September. This, however, is considered a monitoring violation. Cur SyStCnl was in compliance for all reporting requirements. DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more VUlnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Inummo-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have 1.111CICI-gOnC Organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants call be particularly at risk from infections. These: people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EFA/CDC gili(ICHIICS 011 appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporiclium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water I-lotliiie (800-426-4791). WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? E Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present ail(] filtUre demands, there are a ti number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: 04 T- 04 o Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated Nvith both of these necessities of life; Q r_ 0 Saving Nvater reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to COnStRICt Costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and 0 Saving water lessens the strain oil the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid a Q severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met. W Yen can play a role in conserving water by becoming C011SCiOUS of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever ),on call. It is not hard to conserve Nvater. Conservation tips include: 4 Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. * Tuni off the tap when bl-LIShing your teeth. * Check every faucet in your hoine for leaks. Just a slow drip call waste 15 to 20 gallons a clay. Fix it and ),on can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. o Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color Shows LIP in the bowl. It is 110t UnC0111111011 to lose Up to 100 gallons a (lay fi-oril one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year. 4 Use your water nieter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, and check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak. I SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS In 2013, the Nvater main extension to the Chelsea/New York City water Facility was completed at no expense to the district. This extension of Nvater main, and the agreement with New York City, has given the TOW11 the Opti011 Of Using New York City water when the City's upgrades are complete. III 2014 the water mains were extended to the hamlet of Chelsea. As noted previously, the water quality in the United Wappinger Water District niects, all standards and limits set forth by the State of New York, with no violations regarding water quality. The Dutchess COL111ty Health Department formulated a schedule which required the Town to have filters installed of] the Atlas well field in 2012, While: the Town is in non-compliance with this treatment technique schedule, at this time the filter installation proJect is Linder way. The estimated completion time is fall of 2015. At that time all water will be filtered per requirements. Along Nvith the filter project, two separate distribution capital projects Nvere undertaken in 2014; the MacFarlane Road Loop was completed, and the Meadowood Loop needs to be certified. These additional loops, will help to enSLIi-e, water quality and quantity, throughout the System.

The time and place of the regularly scheduled Town Board meetings may be obtained from Joseph Paoloni, Town Clerk, at (845) 297-5771. WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Our water source is two major well fields: the Atlas well field and the Hilltop well field. All water passes through filters at each of these well fields. During 2015 our system did not experience any restriction of our water source. All of our water is treated with chlorine as a disinfectant to destroy microorganisms prior to distribution. The water from the Atlas well field is significantly harder that the water from the Hilltop well field. It may be necessary to adjust your softener, or to install a softener. The estimated hardness of your water is between 14 and 18 grains. SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT The New York State Health Department has completed a source water assessment for this system, based on available information. Possible and actual threats to this drinking water source were evaluated. The state source water assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the subsurface to the wells. The susceptibility rating is an estimated of the potential for contamination of the source water; it does not mean that the water delivered to the consumers is, or will become, contaminated. See the section "Sampling Results" for a list of the contaminants that have been detected, if any. The source water assessments provide resource managers with additional information for protecting source waters into the future. The county and state health departments will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, and planning and education programs. A copy of the assessment can be obtained by contacting us, as noted. North Wappinger Water (Atlas) Well Field SWAP Summary The source water assessment has rated our water source as having an elevated susceptibility to ,. microbial and nitrate contamination. These ratings are due primarily to the close proximity of the N wells to a permitted discharge facility (industrial/commercial facilities that discharge wastewater into the environment and are regulated by the state and/or federal government) and the residential land use `V d and related activities in the assessment area. In addition, the wells are located in an area prone to flooding. The county and state health departments will use this information to direct future water protection activities. Hilltop Water Well Field SWAP Summary The source water assessment has rated our water source as having an elevated susceptibility to microbials, nitrates, salts, sulfate, industrial solvents, and other industrial contaminants. These ratings are due primarily to the close proximity of the wells to a permitted discharge facility (industrial/commercial facilities that discharge wastewater into the environment and are regulated by the state and/or federal government) and the residential land use and related activities in the assessment area. In addition, the wells are located in an area prone to flooding. While the source water assessment has rated our wells as being susceptible to microbials, please note that our water is disinfected to ensure that the finished water delivered into your home meets New York State's drinking water standards for microbial contamination. Q E v 2 Q FACTS AND FIGURES Our water system serves 14,000 customers through 3,498 service connections. The total water produced in 2015 was 331 million gallons. The daily average of water treated and pumped into the distribution system was 907,000 gallons per day. Our highest single day was 1.8 million gallons. The estimated amount of water delivered to our customers was 298 million gallons. This leaves an unaccounted total of 33 million gallons. This water was used for flushing mains, fighting fires, and leaks. In 2015, water customers were billed a minimum of $52.58 for up to and including 2,500 cubic feet, with an additional charge of $1.20 per 100 cubic feet for anything over 2,500 cubic feet. ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: asbestos, total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, radiological and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does y not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and w potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426- W 479 1) or the Dutchess County Health Department at (845) 486-3404. r WW by W L pOp O O O O O > d Q.0 > V v 'C O U y .0 3 u ❑ _ ° c by o c 0 on c o_ enbf d •c c t R �_3 c c c_ o w v Ec v c W cd •= O° t k pp o E c❑ c ° L ° =O o O ° 0 r- 0 0 0 g- '5 '5°oE❑$2Sac O V ici co i0 id C O O 8 lO �' m q m z 0. z z R: 'i".r C ,7.., N z z z z z zz z z zzz z z zz z z z z z z z zz z z z z z< z z zz O N N N N z N z zzz N z z z zz cc 1 X z z z z z zzz O b0 E O Cq �� o �o- O l� n M N O 01 O N N N N N N N N N z z zz cc 1 X z z z z z cqo O b0 E O •o 0 zz M �¢ � N ° ° H o -oz CD 7. o; O c Y V E > N N N N N N N z N z zz Q ❑ f�V G l" R V 0 z ` F-! ; �� (11 •6 L O O CQ U O ti cd O z O V) z z z N 0 0 O 0 O z U z n z 0 N N O N z o w ¢ E a E a a bA o E z -� a V n lu A.' vCL t: c Cl U � r 4E z cn aax N U 01 O 3 3 3 3 C'S L C3 c O O cc 1 X 1 Y O 4 O b0 E O •o 0 � N ° ° H o 7. o; O c Y V E > o i ° .: .r: a Q ❑ f�V G l" R V 0 ` F-! ; �� (11 •6 L O O CQ U O ti cd O z O V) C O. �+ z z z z 0 ON ¢ bA bOA E z -� a ..

MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contamination. Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Non -Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Milligrams per liter (mg -/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one million parts of liquid (parts per million - ppm). Micrograms per liter (uga/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one billion parts of liquid (parts per billion - ppb). WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that n some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level N allowed by the State. cV d We are required to present the following information on lead in drinking water: V present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant wom, fants, and young children. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at otl >mes in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. CAMO Polluti ontrol, Inc. is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety aterials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you ( inimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before usi ater for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to h-, )ur water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take inimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of monitoring are an indication of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. Our system was in compliance for all reporting requirements. DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno -compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (500-426-4791). WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? N Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a v> number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: W n. ♦ Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life; o cV ♦ Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and d ♦ Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met. V You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: ♦ Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. ♦ Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. ♦ Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. ♦ Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year. ♦ Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, and check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak. SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS In 2013, the water main extension to the Chelsea/New York City water facility was completed at no expense to the district. This extension of water main, and the agreement with New York City, has given the Town the option of using New York City water when the City's upgrades are complete. In 2014 the water mains were extended to the hamlet of Chelsea. As noted previously, the water quality in the United Wappinger Water District meets all standards and limits set forth by the State of New York, with no violations regarding water quality. The Dutchess County Health Department formulated a schedule which required the Town to have filters installed. In the fall of 2015 the filter project was completed. Now all the water for United Wappinger Water is filtered and this will improve quality and insure that dangerous viruses cannot enter thorough our source water. Along with the filter project, two separate distribution capital projects were completed in 2015; the MacFarlane Road Loop, and the Meadowood Loop. These additional loops will help to ensure water quality and quantity throughout the system. CLOSING Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year. In N co order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply, we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate N structure. Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements. We ask that all w our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community. Please call CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. at (845) 463-7310 if you have questions. n r 0 cV r cV d WE ASK THAT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS BE VIGILANT AND REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IN THE AREA OF OUR WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. Last year, your tap water met all State drinking water health standards. We are proud to report that our system did not violate a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standard. This report provides an overview of last year's water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact the office of the Village of Wappinger Falls Water Department, 2582 South Avenue, Wappingers Falls, New York 12590, (845) 297-8773, extension 8. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend our regularly scheduled meetings of the Village Board of Water Commissioners on the Monday before the second Wednesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. at the new Water Treatment Facility located at 2784 West Main Street, Wappingers Falls, New York. ti r WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? N N In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or o from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic and chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to �= ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain o contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations 0 establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. r_ Until December 28, 2011 the Village water supply was purchased from and provided by the City/ Town of Poughkeepsie Joint Water Board via the interconnection on DeLavergne Avenue. As of December 28, 2011 use of the interconnection was discontinued. All water is now supplied by the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility. Construction of the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility began in the Spring of 2010, and was completed in December of 2011. The Plant began providing finished water to the Village customers on December 28, 2011. The source of the water provided by the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility is from three (3) active wells located at the 8.0 acre Village wellfield. • Wells gland 92 (inactive) were both formally abandoned in 2010/11. • Well 93 is a 12" x 18" gravel pack type well 95 feet in depth, originally constructed in 1959 and re -drilled in 1997. Well 93 was previously taken off line in October 2006. It was placed back into service beginning on September 13, 2011 with the ability to produce approximately 150 gpm. Well # 3 was again taken offline in October of 2013 due to an increase in manganese content, and remained offline for all of 2015. • Well 44 (inactive) is a 12" x 18" gravel pack type well 100 feet in depth, originally constructed in 1965 and re - drilled in 1997. Well 94 was taken offline in October of 2003 due to an increase in iron content. • Well 45 (inactive) is a 24" x 30" gravel pack type well, 105 feet in depth, originally constructed in 1984. Well 95 was taken off line in 1994 due to significant increases in iron content. • Well 47 and 47A are both 16" x 24" gravel pack type wells. Well 47 is 99 feet in depth and was originally constructed in 2005. Well 97A is 98 feet in depth and was originally constructed in 2010. Both wells were tested for production and water quality immediately following their construction, and were deemed adequate for drinking water purposes. Each well was tested at a production rate of approximately 600 gallons of water per minute. Further analysis confirmed that either well can produce a maximum flow of 600 GPM of water under theoretical drought conditions. Both Well 97 and 97A were placed into service on September 13, 2011 The new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Plant utilizes state of the art technology to treat the well water ;S supply. This includes softening of up to 700 gallons per minute (GPM) utilizing an ion exchange type softener system. oc Raw water hardness is approximately 19 grains, and finished water hardness is approximately 7 - 8 grains. Disinfection is provided through the use of ultraviolet light reactors, followed by a minimal dose of chlorine to provide v� a satisfactory residual throughout the distribution system. The Plant facilities and wells are partially automated, and LU controlled via a Supervisory Control System (SCADA). The Plant is rated at a maximum production capacity of approximately 1 million gallons per day (MGD). 0 cV Starting in September of 2015 (under the direction of the Village Engineer, and with the approval of the Dutchess County Health Department) the Water Plant began adding "Carus 8100" (a blended ortho / polyphosphate) to the r_ finished water. This water treatment chemical acts as a manganese sequestrant and corrosion inhibitor. This treatment n addition was made in anticipation of putting Well # 3 back online as a production well in the Spring of 2016. o The Village of Wappingers Falls water storage facilities consist of three (3) tanks. • The Wenliss Tank has a capacity of 1.4 million gallons. • The DeLavergne Tank has a capacity of 545,000 gallons. • The Hillside Tank (inactive) has a capacity of 170,000 gallons. During 2015 our system did not experience any restriction of our water source. (Well # 3 was taken offline in October of 2013 due to an increase in manganese content, and remained offline for all of 2015). The NYSDOH has completed a source water assessment for this system, based on available information. Possible and actual threats to this drinking water source were evaluated. The state source water assessment includes a susceptibility 'Q rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move M through the subsurface to the wells. The susceptibility rating is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water delivered to consumer is, or will become contaminated. See section "Are O there contaminants in our drinking water?" for a list of the contaminants that have been detected, if any. The source > water assessments provide resource managers with additional information for protecting source waters into the future. The source water assessment has rated our well field water source as having an elevated susceptibility to microbial and nitrate contamination. These ratings are due primarily to the residential land use and related activities in the M assessment area. In addition, the wells draw from the sand and gravel aquifer, and the overlying soils may not provide adequate protection from potential contamination. The county and state health departments will use this information to E direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning and education programs. -2 Q FACTS AND FIGURES: The Village of Wappingers Falls Municipal Water System serves an estimated 5,522 (2010 Census figure) people through approximately 1,520 service connections. In 2015 the new Village of Wappingers Falls Water Treatment Facility had a total treated water output of approximately 197.5 million gallons, or 540,982 gallons per average day. The total billed water during the same period was approximately 157.2 million gallons, or 430,570 gallons per average day. Estimated losses, municipal usage, flushing of the water system, fire- fighting usage, and/or non -billed water theft accounted for approximately 40.3 million gallons (20.4 % ±). In 2015, Village of Wappingers Falls residential users were charged a bi-monthly base rate of S 40.31 per unit (S 20.16 for seniors). Additionally, residential users were billed based on bi-monthly water meter readings at the rate of S 2.21 per 100 cubic feet of water (or 748 gallons) up to 1200 cubic feet, and S 4.51 per 100 cubic feet over 1200 cubic feet. ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State regulations require, the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System routinely tests your drinking water for numerous contaminants. Testing is performed in conformance with the provisions of Part 5 of the New York State Sanitary Code. Subsequent to the completion of the new Village Water Treatment Facility, a new testing protocol was implemented with the Dutchess County Health Department. A brief outline of said testing is as follows. • Daily Sampling: Both the source (raw) water and the finished treated water are tested each day for iron, v0 manganese, hardness and total phosphate. The distribution system is tested each day for free chlorine residual. The LU_ UV disinfection system continuously tests finished (treated) water to insure adequate dosage. • Microbiologgical: Six (6) total samples are collected and analyzed for coliform bacteria monthly. rw • Chloride: 1 sample to be taken yearly at entry point. n, • Iron: 1 sample to be taken each calendar quarter from the entry point and 1 sample to be collected yearly from the raw well water. • Manganese: 1 sample to be taken each calendar quarter from the entry point and 1 sample to be collected yearly Q from the raw well water. • Nitrate: 1 sample to be taken yearly at the entry point. o • Lead and Copper: 20 samples to be taken from the distribution system. d • Radiological Samples: 1 sample to be taken every nine years from the entry point. _ • Primary Inorzanic Chemicals: 1 sample to be taken from the entry point every three years. tj • Disinfection Byproducts: 1 sample to be taken yearly from a sampling point representing the maximum residence time in the distribution system. • Principle Or,-anic Chemicals (POC's): 1 sample to be taken yearly from the raw well water. • Synthetic Organic Chemicals (SOC's): Waiver issued by DCHD on 12/18/12 until 12/31/15. • Sodium: 1 sample to be taken yearly at entry point. • Asbestos: 1 sample to be taken every nine years from the distribution system. • Total Phosphate: 1 sample to be taken quarterly from the distribution system (added 9/04/15). Complete analytic results are available for public inspection at the offices of the Village of Wappingers Falls Water Department, 2582 South Avenue, Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 (845) 297-8773. Q -3- The following table depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old.

A percentile is a value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to or below it. The 90' percentile is equal to or greater than 90 % of the lead / copper values detected in your water system. hi this case, 20 samples were collected at your water system and the 90' percentile value was the 18' highest value. The Action Level for lead was exceeded at two (2) � of the sites tested, or 10 %. The Action Level for copper was not exceeded. These are the most recent results as required by the local Health Dept. 2) Water containing more than 20 mg / L of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on severely restricted sodium diets (this is noted on the d bimonthly bills). Water containing more than 270 mg / L of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on moderately restricted sodium diets. E -4- v Q It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or the Dutchess County Health Department at (845) 486-3400.

As you can see from the previous table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that some of the listed contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below New York State requirements. We are required to present the following information on lead in drinking water: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women, infants and young children. It is possible that lead levels in your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. The Village of Wappingers Falls Water system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested (by your lab at your own expense). Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the safe drinking Water Hotline (1-800- 426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead". -5— Q IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES GOVERNING OPERATIONS? During 2015, the Village of Wappingers Falls Water System was in compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements. DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ? Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno -compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidum, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). In general, the use of water softeners creates the possibility of increasing the sodium content in the finished water. As per NYS Drinking Water Part 5 "Water containing more than 20 mg/1 of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on severely restricted sodium diets. Water containing more than 270 mg/l of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on moderately restricted sodium diets". The most recent sodium level for our finished water was 140 mg/1(10/30/15). As required, this information is provided on the bi-monthly billing statements.

N Q i 7 WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water. • Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life. Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire -fighting needs are met. You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: • Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for Q your money and load it to capacity. • Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. 0 • Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it up and you > can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. 0 • Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year • Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances. Then check the d meter after 15 minutes. If the red dial on the bottom right of the new style meters moves, you have a leak.
