2025-156 (3)To the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
County of Dutchess, New York:
---------------------------------------------------------------------x
In the Matter of Wappingers Falls Mobile Home Park, Inc. for the Extension of the
United Wappinger Water District to include 91-95 New Hackensack Road
Petition
The undersigned, being the owner of taxable real property situate in the water district
hereinafter described and proposed to be extended in the Town of Wappinger, New York (the
"Town"), aggregating at least one-half of the assessed valuation of all the taxable real property of
said proposed district, as shown upon the latest completed assessment roll of said town, and
including resident owners in said proposed district owning taxable real property aggregating at
least one-half of the assessed valuation of all the taxable real property of said proposed district
extension owned by resident owners, according to the latest completed assessment roll, does
hereby petition the board as follows:
1. Petitioner proposes, pursuant to Town Law Article 12, that the Town Board extend the
United Wappingers Water District to include 91-95 New Hackensack Road, also known as
Wappingers Falls Mobile Home Park, as that property is described in the deed annexed hereto as
(Exhibit A).
2. Said territory is located wholly in the Town and is outside of any city or incorporated
village.
3. Attached hereto is a map showing the boundaries of the existing water district (Exhibit
B) and which includes the location of the water treatment plant together with a map showing the
boundaries of the proposed extension of the water district to include 91-95 New Hackensack Road
(Exhibit Q.
4. Attached hereto is a general plan of such proposed water district connection (Exhibit D).
5. The map and plan hereinabove referred have been prepared by Lawrence J. Paggi, P.E.,
a licensed engineer, and submitted for compliance with Article 12 of Town Law.
6. The extension of the District is desirable to Petitioner to provide water service to the
property at 91-95 New Hackensack Road for the following reasons: the property, which contains
a population of fifty (50) residential homes and one (1) deli, is currently served by a public water
supply comprised of three (3) wells, which are experiencing exceedances in the allowable
PFOA/PFOS concentrations, which threatens the health and safety of the residents. Importantly,
the proposed district extension and water main connection would alleviate these concerns and
allow the compromised wells to be taken offline. Additional support for the extension is found in
Exhibit E.
7. The maximum amount proposed to be expended for the construction and acquisition of
the above-described improvement is as follows: No capital costs are anticipated by the District
for the construction or acquisition of the improvements. Petitioner anticipates expending a sum of
approximately $160,000 constructing the required connection, road crossing, water main
extension, and associated distribution lines to expand the district to the property and provide
service to the residents thereon. Thereafter, the petitioner anticipates to pay a capital contribution
estimated at this time to be approximately XXXXX (per the Special District Administrator), and
then annual fees of around XXXXX for use of the system. Petitioner would propose to convey to
the District the water main lines which are proposed for installation in the Town right-of-way on
New Hackensack Road, but to retain all ownership and obligations as it relates to the service and
distribution lines within the property bounds. Petitioner would also propose to give rights to the
District to monitor and perform maintenance as necessary on the meter pit, currently proposed to
be installed within the Petitioner's property.
8. The assessed valuation of all the taxable real property situate in the proposed water
district, as such valuations appear upon the latest completed assessment roll of the Town is
$3,586,000. All of the petitioners are owners of real property situate in the proposed water district,
which property according to the latest completed assessment roll of the Town shows the assessed
valuations respectively set out next to the names of the petitioners as follows:

water district hereinabove proposed and described, and that a public hearing thereon be held
according to law.
