WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board duly established the Town of Queensbury

WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to improve the District’s water transmission facilities
by replacing water mains on Meadowbrook Road, Cline Avenue, Sargent Street and Wilson Street,
and installing a water main loop on Meadowbrook Road and copper service lines to the 41 homes
served, all in accordance with Town Law Section 202-b, and
WHEREAS, C.T. Male Associates, P.C., professional engineers, have prepared an
Engineer’s Report (the “Map and Plan”) concerning the proposed water transmission system
improvements together with an estimate of the cost of such improvements, and
WHEREAS, the Map and Plan was duly filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's Office and
made available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, although the Town of Queensbury is a town partially within the Adirondack
Park the District does not contain State lands assessed at more than thirty percent (30%) of the
total taxable assessed valuation of the District, so permission of the State Comptroller to the
proposed expenditure is not required under Town Law §202-b(5);
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED:
1. The proposed improvements are:
(a) replacement of existing 6” diameter asbestos cement (ACP) and cast iron
water mains with class 52 (heavy wall) 8” ductile iron pipe (DIP) along
Meadowbrook Road south of Quaker Road to Cline Avenue (1500 lf), Cline
Avenue (550 lf), Sargent Street (430 lf) and Wilson Street (400 lf); and
(b) installation of approximately 250 lf of 8” DIP water main along
Meadowbrook Road south of Cline Avenue and 350 lf of DIP water main
connecting Meadowbrook Road to the existing 6” main along Ridge Road to

pipe.
2. The maximum amount proposed to be expended for such improvements is
$700,000.
3. The cost of the improvements will be paid from the current funds in the Capital
Reserve Fund of the District; therefore, the annual cost of the District for debt service and
operation and maintenance costs to the typical property and the typical one- or two-family home
will not be increased and may decrease as a result of the project.
4. The proposed improvements shall be constructed and installed as specifically
delineated in the Map and Plan and in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's
specifications, ordinances or local laws, and any State laws or regulations, and in accordance with
approved plans and specifications and under competent engineering supervision.
