Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Town Water Projects Reference: Dear Connie: If you recall, Combined Wappinger Water, of which Fleetwood Water was a part, applied for DWSRF funding as one $22 Million project. It has now been proposed, however, that Fleetwood begin improvements as a separate smaller project. Since the Town would like to receive funding for this small project, a call was made to the New York State Department of Health (N.Y.S.D.O.H.) in Albany to see how this could be done. The procedure to follow, according to Charles Hudson of the N.Y.S.D.O.H. can be summarized as follows: Combined Wappinger Water should be broken into three (3) smaller projects, namely a. Fleetwood b. Four (4) District Improvement Area c. Remaining Areas. A pre-application form should be submitted for each project, placing them on the multi-year list. The submission of plans and specifications for any of the three would upgrade that project to the project readiness list, and make it eligible for funding. o The remaining projects would stay on the multi-year list, until the Town was ready to proceed. o o o Joseph E.

Smith Town Board RE: Drinking Water State Revolving FUf1d - 2 - October 21, 1997 Our office is now in the process of completing the pre-application forms for the three areas described. When these have been submitted, any course of action decided upon by the Board regarding Fleetwood Water would be eligible for DWSRF funding, while the remaining areas of Combined Wappinger Water would remain on the N.Y.S.D.O.H. 's Intended Use Plan Multi-Year list, until such time as the Town elects to proceed. If you have any questions or comments regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
