Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor
Reference: Chelsea Ridge/Water
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
As instructed at the last Town Board meeting, I met with Dan Stone of the
Chazen Companies, Engineers for the Chelsea Ridge Complex, regarding the
potential for extending central water services to the Chelsea Ridge facility, and in
turn, potentially having this line serve the hamlet of Chelsea and other
surrounding areas within the Town of Wappinger.
Discussed with Mr. Stone were the following items:
1. The preferred option for connection of the Chelsea Ridge Complex to a
central water facility would be via the installation of a water transmission
line on Baxtertown Road with the water source coming from the Village of
Fishkill. The Town of Fishkill, in all likelihood, would eventually wind up
owning the line within their municipal boundaries from the tie-in point to
the Town of Wappinger. In addition, the Town of Wappinger would own
their municipal line within their municipal boundaries to the connection
point of Chelsea Ridge. There would probably be a master meter located
at some point, preferably on one of the Town lines, and there would be an
individual meter for the Chelsea Ridge Complex.
2. First SteD: Schedule a meeting with the Village of Fishkill to determine if
there is sufficient source capacity and to have some preliminary
discussions on a rate structure.
3. Second SteD: Discussions with the Town of Fishkill to determine if they
are interested in accepting the pipe that would be constructed within their
municipal boundaries.
4. Third SteD: Perform all the necessary tasks required by the regulatory
agencies, including SEOR, New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation approvals, New York State Department of Health approvals,
and all Highway Work Permits necessary from the Dutchess County
Department of Public Works and the New York State Department of
Transportation.

It is presently felt that the Town of Wappinger engineer's presence at the initial
meeting with the Village of Fishkill is not necessary. However, if the Town Board
would like us to attend, we would.
Engineer Stone will set up a meeting with the Village of Fishkill as quickly as
possibly and report back to our office with the findings discussed at the meeting.
If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this
office.
