Dear Mr. Colsey,
I had spoken to you at the end of August concerning Woodhill Green's drinking
water problem. We are currently working with Lee Felshin at the Dutchess
County Dept of Health on our chloride issue. When I spoke to you last, you
thought that we would maybe have a chance at "hooking" into the Village of
Wappingers Falls water system. Attached is a copy of a letter from the Village
engineer about the Village's unwillingness to help us because it is the Village
Water Commissioner's policy not to serve out of Village residents with Village
water. At this time we would like to know what other avenues are available to us
from the Town to be compliant with the Department of Health.
We are looking forward to your response on this matter.
Warm Regards,
Nicole Christian

As a follow-up to our telephone call, I discussed the subject of supplying the Woodhill
Green project in the Town of Wappinger with water supply from the Village of
Wappingers Falls. I had a discussion with the Water Commissioners, Chairman Rob
Alfonso, Commissioner Matthew Alexander, and Commissioner Patrick Chase at the
June 14', 2010 Water Board meeting.
Currently, it is the Village Water Commissioners' policy not to serve out of Village
residents with Village water because:
1. As you are aware, we are in the midst of redeveloping our source, supply
and treatment facilities. This is a big step for the Village, and even though
we have detailed, specific hydrogeologic work on the wells and capacities
of the pumping and treatment facilities, we want to assure ourselves with
actual real time operating capabilities.
2. The Village is currently taking a serious look at their master plan and
contemplating development of undeveloped parcels and potential
redevelopment of existing built parcels in the future. Planning water
capacities for that is difficult, and therefore, if the Village does face small
excess, reserving capacity for those purposes would be advisable.
As you are aware, the recently approved plans for the rebuild of the Village water
system has a finite capacity of 700 GPM. This has been determined to be the
maximum day billed out for the Village and current customers that are served out of the
Village. I trust this addresses your request.
If there are any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Very tr ly yours,
