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.
