CANTON – Funding options are being explored for more than $13 million worth of repair work at the Village of Canton’s wastewater treatment facility.
At the village board’s June 21 monthly board meeting, the mayor and village trustees received an update on the project from Taylor Jennings, a senior engineer with the engineering firm of Barton and Loguidice.
“There’s liner patching and deterioration in the existing liners and there’s piping breakdowns,” said Jennings.
Jennings said he had been working with Village Superintendent Tim Bacon over the last few months to complete the evaluation of the water treatment plant.
The project is currently on the state’s Clean Water Intended Use Plan (IUP) list where the project will be rated and ranked for potential funding levels.
The deadline to apply is July 28. Two steps include passing a Type 1 State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) and executing a bond resolution.
“These steps are required to be shovel ready,” Jennings said.
The board approved Part 1 of the three-part SEQR on June 21. A special meeting has been scheduled for July 24 at 5:30 p.m. to complete Parts 2 and 3 of the SEQR process and approve the bond resolution.
