The following Resolution was introduced by Casella and seconded by Councilman

WHEREAS, Town Supervisor Joseph D. Cavaccini, Town Engineer Lawrence J. Paggi, and the
Town's water and sewer operator CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. regularly routinely review the
Town's water and sewer operation and maintenance (O&M) needs and identify deficiencies
within the United Wappinger Water District sewer infrastructure that may require capital
improvements; and
WHEREAS, one such facility, the Old Myers Corners Road Sewer Pump Station, installed in the
early 1970s, is an outdated airlift -style pump station of poor design and technology, has been
continually maintained beyond its intended useful life, and is in poor overall condition requiring
replacement and the addition of emergency power; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Wappinger, as part of the 3A Sewer District Expansion in 2004,
installed a modern Smith & Loveless sewer pump station with a standby emergency generator at
Four Fields Court to serve approximately six residences on a private road, which the pump
station and generator were never placed into service and have remained unused; and
WHEREAS, despite remaining unused, the Four Fields Court pump station equipment and
emergency generator have been properly maintained by CAMO Pollution Control Inc. and are
reported to be in good working condition; and
WHEREAS, CAMO Pollution Control Inc. has advised that the Four Fields Court pump station
equipment and emergency generator can be decommissioned, relocated, and re -purposed to serve
as a replacement for the Old Myers Corners Road Sewer Pump Station, subject to specific
modifications and construction activities; and
WHEREAS, such work would include, but not be limited to:
I . Upgrading the electrical service at Myers Corners Road from single-phase to three-phase;
2. Replacement of rotating pump assemblies to accommodate the hydraulic head conditions
at the Myers Corners Road location;
3. Retrofitting the existing Myers Corners Road structure to serve as the wet well for the
new pump station;
4. Relocation and installation of the Four Fields Court emergency generator;
5. Installation of new piping connections to the existing force main and wet well;
6. Removal of fencing and restoration/landscaping of the Four Fields Court site; and
7. Temporary trucking of sewage during the construction period; and
WHEREAS, CAMO Pollution Control Inc. has estimated the total cost to replace and upgrade
the Old Myers Corners Road Sewer Pump Station utilizing the re -purposed Four Fields Court
pump station equipment and generator to be Ninety -Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($92,500), representing a cost-effective alternative to full replacement; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board finds that decommissioning the Four Fields Court Sewer Pump
Station and re -purposing its infrastructure for use at the Old Myers Corners Road location is in
the best interest of the Town, promotes responsible stewardship of public assets, enhances
system reliability, and improves emergency preparedness within the United Wappinger Water
District;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger
hereby authorizes the decommissioning of the Four Fields Court Sewer Pump Station and
associated infrastructure; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes the relocation and re -purposing
of the Four Fields Court pump station equipment and emergency generator to upgrade and
replace the Old Myers Corners Road Sewer Pump Station, subject to review and coordination
with the Town Engineer and applicable regulatory agencies; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Town Supervisor Joseph D. Cavaccini is hereby authorized
to execute any and all documents and take any actions necessary to effectuate this resolution,
including engagement with CAMO Pollution Control Inc. and other professionals as required,
