Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor
Reference: Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment Improvement
Phase I and II/Treatment Plant Expansion
EFC Project No. 5306-02
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
I received a call from Irene Dergosits of the Environmental Facilities Corp. regarding the
remaining monies left in the EFC financing that was used for the construction of the Tri-
Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility expansion for Phases I and II for the above
referenced sewer improvement. There is approximately $900,000.00 left in this account.
I would like to make a recommendation to the Town Board at this time that they entertain
utilizing these funds for infiltration/inflow reduction and/or handling for Phase I and II of
the Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment Improvement. This work could consist of
infiltration/inflow repair work on the existing collection systems on the Town side and/or
the construction of the appropriate treatment/holding/equalization facilities at the Tri-
Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility itself.
The necessity of this work has been documented and recommended by our office in the
past, and I believe in the long run will save the Town substantial amounts of monies in
lower operation and maintenance cost to Tri-Municipal.
I would ask the Town Board to discuss this at their next available Workshop and/or Town
Board meeting, and advise our office in which direction to proceed.
If there are any questions or comments on the above, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
