OnMondayMay 2nd the Vil-
lage Board will have their first
workshop,7:00pmat theVillage
Hall.The topicwillbe thecurrent
and future situation at ourWaste
Water Treatment Plant.
Thediscussionwill focuson the
plans for belt press, sludge haul-
ing, and an upgrade to the plant.
As well as grant applications,
grant funding, and financing for
the upgrades.
Thismeetingandallworkshops
areopen to thepublic.Webelieve
that this format allowsamore in-
depth look into important issues
that might not get the complete
discussionneeded toproduce the
best results.
Youmayhave read in thepaper
that theVillageBoard has voted
to raise the sewer rate froma$33
minimum to $40minimum and
excess charge from $5.81 per
thousand gallons to $8.00 per
thousand gallons.
Many factors contribute to this
move.First, state lawdictates that
the sewer fund operates strictly
from themoney taken in from the
sewer rates.Currentlywehavean
annual bond payment of around
$300,000 a year for another 3
years. The biggest change is the
agreementwithWeCareOrgan-
ics that we have enjoyed for the
last 14 years. They have decided
that it was not lucrative for them
tocontinueandhadwewished to
extend theagreementwouldhave
come toa$200,000+cost ayear.
Our new permit issued in 2015
required more testing, another
added cost.
The raise in the rateshouldoff-
set thecost for theVillage tohaul
wet sludgeuntilweareable toget
a belt press in and operational.
Oncewe are set upwewill see a
significant drop in the total cost
of handling our sludge formany
reasons.
Other factors are the reduction
of water usage.While the solids
remain the same, the amount of
water used has dropped because
of energy saving toilets, wash-
ing machines, and dishwashers.
Many improvements have been
made at the plant but these take
money for time andmaterial.
While we realize the extra
burden this will put on every
household, and plan to do
everything in our power to get
this back to a more reasonable
rate, it is important to realize this
utility has not been increased in
14years.Take intoconsideration,
employee’s wages, health care
and cost of utilities to run
the plant which have gone up
numerous times throughout the
last 14 years.
TheBoard is committed tofix-
ing this issue and putting a plan
in place that not only has LeRoy
ready for the future but also has
money set aside for preventive
maintenanceanda long standing
stable tax rate.
“If you are always trying to
figure out what happened; you’ll
neverhave time tofigureoutwhat
to do”.
