SHORT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM, PART 1- PROJECT INFORMATION
PART 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — NARRATIVE FOR THE
Wildwood Wastewater Treatment Facility and Connection with Woodhill Green
Project and Sponsor Information
Proiect Location
The proposed action will occur in primarily developed areas within the Town of Wappinger; and the
Village of Wappingers Falls. 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:

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.

SHORT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM, PART 1- PROJECT INFORMATION
PART 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — NARRATIVE FOR THE
Wildwood Wastewater Treatment Facility and Connection with Woodhill Green
Project and Sponsor Information
Proiect Location
The proposed action will occur in primarily developed areas within the Town of Wappinger; and the
Village of Wappingers Falls. 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.

SHORT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM, PART 1- PROJECT INFORMATION
PART 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — NARRATIVE FOR THE
Woodhill Green Condominiums Connection to Village of Wappingers Falls Water System
Project and Sponsor Information
Proiect Location
The proposed action will occur in primarily developed areas within the Town of Wappinger; and the
Village of Wappingers Falls. Please refer to project report, map and plan for details. 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.
Project 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:

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 an infrastructure 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 water pipes 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 and water pipes and related
improvements, including stockpiling material for reuse or removal;
- Preparation of trench base and installation of sewer and water pipes 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 an approximately 40+ foot long pipe section on the east side of
Route 9, which connects to an existing water main. The end of this section is approximately 685' 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.
Threatened or Endangered Specias 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.

the event that the owner(s) of any of the Village Authorized Parcels fail to pay
the sewer use fee in accordance with the Town's billing practices, the Village
shall take such steps as necessary to have any unpaid sewer use fees re -levied
on the tax bill of the Village Authorized Parcels. Upon receipt of payment
from the re -levied tax bills, the Village will promptly reimburse the Town for
any outstanding O&M charges due from the owners of the Village Authorized
Parcels, including any penalties and interest imposed by the Town.
8. Town Authorized Parcels. The Village will receive the waste water from the
Town Authorized Parcels identified in Schedule "1" and transmit the waste water via the Village
Sewer Facilities to the Tri -Municipal Sewer Treatment Plant to be treated pursuant to the
Treatment Contract between the Town and the Tri -Municipal Sewer Commission.
15
a. The Town shall allocate sufficient waste water treatment capacity at the Tri -
Municipal Sewer Plant to satisfactorily treat all waste water originating from
the Town Authorized Parcels in compliance with all Federal, State, and
County laws, rules and regulations or the rules and regulations of any
regulatory agency having jurisdiction over waste water treatment in the State
of New York.
b. Whenever possible, and to the extent that any of the Town Authorized Parcels
are also connected to the Village water system, the Village water meter
reading shall be used as the basis for determining the amount of waste water
treated at the Tri -Municipal Sewer Plant from the Town Authorized Parcels
and charged to the Town's authorized treatment capacity.
c. For the Town Authorized Parcels that are not connected to the Village water
system, the Village agrees to utilize the Town water meter reading as the basis
for determining the amount of sewer treated at the Tri -Municipal Sewer Plant
from the Town Authorized Parcels and charged to the Town's authorized
treatment �aDacit�
d. The Town shall pay to the
a sewer use fee for the use of the Villa
Sewer Facilities for the transmission of waste water from the Town
Authorized Parcels for sewer treatment at the Tri -Municipal Sewer Plant. The
use fee paid by the Town to the Village shall be the same fee charged by the
Town to its customers. The use fee charged by the Village to the Town will be
done on a parcel -by -parcel basis in accordance with the sewer use fee charges
imposed by the Town Board annually for various categories of properties

that the sewer use fee as established by the Town includes as a component
thereof capital charges and it is intended that such capital charges be paid to
the Village as part of this Agreement.
e. The Town Authorized Parcels are provided potable water service from the
Village, the Town or through a private water system. The Town and Village
agree to accept the Village or Town water meter reading, as applicable, as the
basis for determining the amount of sewer treated at the Tri -Municipal Sewer
Plant for the Town Authorized Parcels, such amount to be allocated to the
Town authorized capacity at said sewer plant. In those circumstances when
the Town Authorized Parcels are not connected to a municipal water system,
the Village and the Town shall establish a sewer use fee to be charged to such
parcels.
f. The Village will charge the Town the sewer use fee for the Town Authorized
Parcels in accordance with the sewer use fee established by the Town on an
annual basis and shall first bill the parcel owners directly for such charges. In
the event that the owner(s) of any of the Town Authorized Parcels fail to pay
the sewer use fee in accordance with the Village's billing practices, the Town
shall take such steps as necessary to have any unpaid sewer use fees re -levied
on the tax bill of the Town Authorized Parcels. Upon receipt of payment from
the re -levied tax bills, the Town will promptly reimburse the Village for any

Because of its interconnection with the Village's Sewer Facilities, the Village
agrees to undertake all routine inspections and maintenance of said Sewer
Main Extension. The Town will undertake and pay for all capital
improvements and replacement charges required of said Sewer Main
Extension. The Town and the Village agree that they shall operate, maintain,
repair and use the Sewer Main Extension and the Sewer Facilities in

ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR
WILDWOOD WWTF EVALUATION
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PAGE 1
JUNE 2017
This report evaluates alternatives for addressing existing wastewater issues for
the Wildwood Sewer District on a long term basis. 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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:

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):

VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS WATER SYSTEM JUNE 2017
I. 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.

VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS WATER SYSTEM JUNE 2017
II. 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.

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.

VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS WATER SYSTEM JUNE 2017
While the elevation at the proposed connection point is approximately 125,
Woodhill Green is located at a significantly higher elevation of around 175.
The higher elevation will require the installation of a booster pump station
in order to service Woodhill Green.

VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS WATER SYSTEM JUNE 2017
IV. 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.

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.

V. 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:

ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2015
VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM
2582 SOUTH AVENUE
WAPPINGERS FALLS, NEW YORK 12590
(PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY ID# 1302783)
INTRODUCTION:
To comply with State and Federal regulations, the Village of Wappingers Falls Municipal Water System will be
annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. 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.

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

1) The level represents the 90' percentile of the 20 sites tested. 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.

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".

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.

I. 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.

UNITED WAPPINGER WATER DISTRICT
II. 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. It should be noted that this connection is for
emergency conditions only and that continued use would be subject to
separate review and approvals by the NYSDEC.

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:

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

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

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.

IV. 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

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.

INTRODUCTION
To comply with State regulations, the United Wappinger Water District is issuing all annual report
describing the equality Of your driuking, Nvater. 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.

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-

WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? U.]
As ),oil call see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that
some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level
allowed by the State.

Q
We are required to present -the following information oil lead in drinking water:
present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women,
fonts, and young children. It is possible that lead levels at yOL1l' home may be higher than at other
miles in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. CAMO Pollution
ontrol, hic. is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of
aterials used ill plumbing com pon c tits, When your water has been sitting for several 11OL11-S, you can
inimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap, for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using
ater for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead ill your Nvater, ),oil may Nvish to have
)ill, water tested. 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.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2015
United Wappinger Water District
Wappingers Falls, New York 12590
Public Water Supply ID# 1330660
INTRODUCTION
To comply with State regulations, the United Wappinger Water District is issuing an annual report
describing the quality of your drinking water. 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 CAMO
Pollution Control, Inc. at (845) 463-7310. We want you to be informed about your drinking water.
If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled village board meetings. 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.

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.

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

ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2015
VILLAGE OF WAPPINGERS FALLS MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM
2582 SOUTH AVENUE
WAPPINGERS FALLS, NEW YORK 12590
(PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY ID# 1302783)
INTRODUCTION:
To comply with State and Federal regulations, the Village of Wappingers Falls Municipal Water System will be
annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. 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? 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).

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).

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.

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. E
