The following Resolution was introduced by Councilman Beale and seconded by Councilman Kuzmicz.
WHEREAS, the Dutchess County Department of Public Works has scheduled an improvement project for Old
Hopewell Road (CR-28) between Route 9 and All Angels Hill Rd (CR-94) in the Town of Wappinger and the
design work for the project is ongoing; and
WHEREAS, the United Wappinger Water District “UWWD” and the United Wappinger Sewer District
“UWSD” have mains located in and along the Old Hopewell Road right of way at various locations, but there
are also areas where there are gaps in the distribution and collection systems; and
WHEREAS, it would be very cost effective to install water and sewer pipes as part of the proposed DCDPW
improvement project as utility work within the right of way is being conducted as part of that project; and
WHEREAS, the Engineer to the Town and the Town Supervisor have consulted with the Dutchess County
Department of Public Works (“DCDPW”) which has advised that it can include the installation of water and
sewer mains in the improvement project if the Town provides the needed design specifications; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board determines that the most cost effective way to fill the gaps in the UWWD and the
UWSD in the area along Old Hopewell Road will be to install the pipes as part of the DCDPW Improvement
Project; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board determines that the installation of the mains will provide redundant systems that
will benefit the UWWD and the UWSD on the whole and it is therefore proper to charge the design work for
the improvements as a district wide expense;
NOW THEREFOR BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The Engineers to the Town, CPL, are directed to prepare design plans, specifications and cost estimates
for water mains and sewer mains that shall interconnect the existing facilities of the UWWD and the
UWSD along Old Hopewell Road.
2. The following budget transfers are hereby authorized for the design services:
Amount From Line To Line
$90,000 WU9950.900 UWWD H New Capital Account Old Hopewell

3. The Engineers to the Town shall report to the Town Board the estimated construction costs for the
proposed work along Old Hopewell Road as soon as possible.
The foregoing was put to a vote which resulted as follows:
