These properties shall become consolidated with and become a part of the District.
2. The proposed improvements consist of replacement of the existing water
distribution system, consisting of 4,000 linear feet of 2.5” inch diameter pipe and 1,350 linear feet
of 4” diameter galvanized metal pipe and related appurtenances, with up to 2,000 linear feet of 4”
diameter ductile iron pipe minimum, 3,100 linear feet of 2” SDR 21 PVC pipe, 1,000 linear feet of
¾” copper service piping and associated curb stops, corporation stops, valves and other required
appurtenances, which replacement will be made on the opposite side of the road from the existing
pipe in some cases.
3. The maximum estimated cost of the proposed improvements is $150,000. The
cost of the improvements will be paid for using Shore Colony Water District fund balances,
including (a) $63,000 from Capital Fund #117, (b) $81,000 from the District’s fund balance and
(c) $6,000 which has already been expended from other funds of the District. Therefore, there
will be no additional charge to the current users of the District system to construct the proposed
improvements and there will be no financing required by the Town on behalf of the District or
debt service costs related to the District extension and proposed improvements.

typical property in the District extension, which typical property is a typical one family home, for

operation and maintenance and other charges is $378. There will be no hook-up fees as all of the
properties within the District extension are currently connected to the water distribution system.

improvements were computed is included in the Map, Plan and Report which has been filed with
the Queensbury Town Clerk and is available for public inspection.
