1971-10-26 PH3 02f' A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger on October 26, 1971, at the Town Hall, Mill Street, Wappingers Falls, New York, on an application made by Atlas Water Company for approval of the extension of its water lines. Louis Clausen, Deputy Supervisor, opened the Hearing at 8:17 P.M. Present: Louis Clausen, Deputy Supervisor Harry Holt, Councilman James Mills, Councilman Elaine H. Snowden, Town Clerk Absent: Louis Diehl, Supervisor G. Donald Finnan, Councilman Others Present: Allan Rappleyea, Attorney to the Town The Town Clerk offered for the record, the Affidavits of Posting and Publication duly signed and notarized by Albert Osten of the W&SD News. (These Affidavits hereof of the Minutes of this are attachedhereto and made a part Hearing). George Bergerman, Attorney for Mr. Lafko, a principal of Atlas Water Company, explained this was an application to enlarge the existing water district by approximately 2,000 acres. They hope to bring an adequate water supply into an area where presently there is an inadequate water supply, also for fire protection purposes. They intend to put in nine fire hydrants. He went into detail about the history of Atlas Water Company; it was established in 1960 and is now a partnership, Fred Lafko and Dave Alexander._ The area of the proposed extension is bounded by Myers Corners Road on the north, which is also the southern boundary, Kent Road on the east, Route 9 on the west. He brought attention to the suit against the Town Building Inspector by Nattin Realty because of denial on application for multi -dwelling, the reason being inade- quate water and sewer supply. 302 8 Although this was an altogether different area, they hoped to help the Town by putting in a superior system, as the area involved was served by private wells which are not satisfactory. Wendell Inhoffer, Zoning Engineer from Little Falls, New Jersey spoke on the application; he has been a water commissioner in Passaic Valley for five years. He is in complete charge of the water system which supplies about 700,000 people. He prepared the engineering report, plans and specifications for the Atlas Water Company application and presented Exhibit #4 to the Board. Mr. Mills asked if all the existing fire hydrants in the district would now be hooked up for fire protection. Allan Rappleyea, Attorney to the layout of the system and the Town questioned the Engineer on the costs involved. Louis Eck objected to the extension. He saw no reason why the Town should be spending money on public hearings, lawyers, engineers, etc. for an extension on a private water company. The rates to the tenants would be double if this extension was granted. The municipality should own the water companies; they should be sold to the Town. Mr. Rappleyea stated for the record, that he was filing copy of the minutes of the hearing on this application by Department of Environmental Conservation with the Town Clerk, dated October 15, 1971. MR. MILLS moved to close the hearing, seconded by Mr. Holt and carried. The hearing closed at 9:28 P.M. Elaine H.
