City Seeks Funds For Waterline

The Common Council tonight approved a resolution to apply for up to 600,000 in Community Development Block Grant Funding for a new water line on Van Schaick Island. The new line would serve the northern end of the island, north of Ontario Street.

According to Mayor John McDonald, the line would remedy the many longstanding issues with water that has plagued that section of the city for a number a years.

The city is currently in the process of replacing a waterline on the lower section of Vliet Street. That project, which will serve 153 residents, has been funded through the American Investment and Recovery Act at a cost of 715,929 and is said to create 27 jobs.
