The Town of Pawling seeks to construct an urgently needed Septic Tank Effluent Pump System (STEP) sanitary sewer system serving proposed Sewer District # 4 along the Route 22 corridor. There is currently no municipal / public sanitary sewer service. New service connections will be installed to a newly constructed STEP sanitary sewer 4” forcemain along NYS Route 22, beginning south of the Village of Pawling and extending to the Town of Pawling boundary with Patterson. Improvements will also be made to the Castagna pump station to support the additional flow generated by the new connections to the newly extended forcemain.
Town of Poestenkill
Poestenkill Water District #2 -Response to Elevated PFAS Levels in the Well Water Supply
$2,000,000
The Town of Poestenkill is requesting Federal funding to support an expansion of its municipal water supply system to include the Algonquin Middle School and its surrounding neighborhoods. Testing of the drinking water conducted in 2021 at the Middle School and in homes in the surrounding area found levels of PFOA and PFAS exceeding New York State guidelines. Phase I of the proposed extension (Water District #2) will address the immediate need to protect the health and safety of more than 670 students, school staff and hundreds of residents in the surrounding area. Installation of a public water supply completely eliminates the need to rely on individual wells and individual PFOA/S treatment systems that must be constantly maintained to ensure performance.

$3,000,000
The project involves the design and construction of the Hudson Heritage Sewer System, a municipally-owned waste water collections system to be built on the former (abandoned) Hudson River State Psychiatric Hospital in the Town of Poughkeepsie, NY. The urgency of the request is being driven by the need to replace the failing sewer at the site.

Village of Waterloo
Village of Waterloo Rock Storm Sewers – Creating Resiliency
$2,830,000
This project will involve the construction of new storm sewers to replace the storm rock sewers and reduce flooding to residents and businesses. Any current lateral connections to the rock storm will be connected to the new construction. As the project is designed, drainage issues will be addressed and the sewers will be sized to adequately handle storm events in excess of a “25-year” storm event.
Village of Wurtsboro
Village of Wurtsboro Sullivan Street Water System Improvements
$698,000
Based upon the recently completed engineering report, the improvements needed to the water system are many and include upgrades to the water supply and treatment system, distribution system, and water storage tanks. The Village’s highest priority is to replace as much of the old cast iron water mains as possible. Water main breaks are a constant problem given the age and fragility of the pipes. Residents served by the existing system remain concerned about the reliability of the water supply and system pressures. The average daily demand, in the specific area, is 190,000 gallons. As the water system rapidly continues to age, this project has escalated in priority. Without the planned improvements, there is no guarantee the Village can continue to meet the daily demand.
