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.

Reference: Woodhill Green/Town of Wappinger Dear Lee: Ir1EC,F '%.res- L i i ENIVIRONMIE-10CA1 i-IEALTH 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, - r . y oseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. JEP:Iaw cc: Rob Alfonso, Chairman Hon. Matthew Alexander Patrick Chase, Commissioner Joseph E. Paggi, jr., P.E. Ernst Martin, Jr., P.E., L.S. Charles R. Del Bene, Jr., P.E.
