Webster-, Supervisor Mr. .N. Harwood Beaty, Councilman Mr. Curtis Lampson, Councilman Mr. Theodore Turner, Councilman This a report of conditions in the Water Distr' i.ct and Pumping Station as of the date of March 31, 1964. The #1 well. cannot be used because of the diron and air in the casing and well.` This unit is shut off on the control panel. r There is not::chlorine machine for the #1 well, as this machine is now being -used to inject the Calgon in to-the water stream. This is a make"`shift` arrangement that requires attention, at least three times a day -.7 days a week. The gasoline engine for-the standby well - well #3 - cannot be used as this installation is still- not complete, plus-this well contains iron and air the same as well #1. The automatic .airM relief valves, that should have been installed on g in- ally, .but have been called for nQw, Ore still, not installed nor has any thing.further been done to get this installation started-. 155 The Flow-Meter, which gives a record of the actual gallons of water' pumped, is not now nor has it aver worked properly. The B.I.F. Telometer controls, which regulate the water level in the storage tanks and automatically control the pumps, are again not working. Requiring that the pump be operated by manual control. The factory representative has-been called for but it may take a week for him to get here. Nearly two thirds of our water system has had to be sut off from our water supply and supplied water from the City of Glens Falls, because i of the iron and rust problem which is now over 4 months old and not nearly solved. There is no further money in the Queensbury Water District budget to pay for the water we are now currently purchasing from the City of Glens Falls. The West Mountain storage tank has to be drained and cleaned because the water, from this tank shows signs of dirt and rust. This work is supposed to be done by this department,' but because of the malfunction of the automatic tank controls it should not be done until these controls are working properly. Plus the fact that l just don't have the time right now. Nothing further has been done regarding the fencing that was suppose E to be installed around each storage tank. The construction work to complete our water system, is ready to start again on April 13, 1964. There are 5 new water tap requests, not under the contract. There. are 8 new water meters that have to be or should be installed. There are 5 broken fire hydrants. j There are ,approximately 1100 water rent bills that have to be completcC and mailed. . There has been an average of 3 telephone calls a day requesting in- formation or requiring service attention. There are weekly water samples taken for the B.Y.S. Board of Health. i . There is not a complete or accurate record of customer services, water service shut offs, water mains, water main shut offs fire hydrants or there shut offs. The record situation is very poor. With the exception of the West Glens- Falls Water District, the City of Glens Falls, canno- longer offer repair service or water taps to the Queensbury Water, District. I have now completed my 19th week of service to the Water District at the rate of 7 days a week, including quite a few nights. r My requests for personnel to help with the work load have been success- ful, but any attempt to hire a person part time have failed. Respectfully submitted Jerome Thorne , Acting Superintendent A motion was made by Mr. Beaty and seconded by Mrs Turner that all reports be accepted and placed on file. Carried unanimously. Clark, Bartlett, Caffry and Dube . Attorneys at Law Glens Falls, N.Y. S April 1, 1964. Albert Besw ck, Esq. Attorney pat ,Law Warren County Center Lake George, New York Re: Fred. Alexy ?dear Albert: I obtained the enclosed sketch from. Fred Alexy as to what he .intends to construct along the shoreline of his property at Dunham's Bay. The beginning„ of. of the seawall shown on the sketch on the right- hand side thereof is also the boundary line of the Q1exy property. No change whatever would be made in the present town road and the eighteen inch log fence indicated would be entirely off the traveled and maintained roadway. x I would appreciate hearing from the town board in this connection as soon as possible. Yours truly, CLARK, BARTLETT,CAFFRY AND DUBE BY: Dick , .S. It does not strike me this is the sort of work that requires filing of notice of- construction. If you feel same is necessary, however, I will see that it is obtained. ALBERT E. BESWICK Attorney at Law- Lake George, N.Y. April 2, 1964 Mr. John 0. Webster, Supervisor Chestnut Ridge Road r Clens Falls, N. Y. Dear John: Enclosed is letter I have today received from Dick Bartlett to E which is attached a sketch showing what Alexy proposes to do along” -the town road which crosses his property. One thing appears to be a log fence about 18 inches high right immediately adjacent to the road which will prevent the public from parking. on the lake side of the highway -but will apparently leave the area on the other side of the highway open for parking. Also is in dycated a sea wall along the shore which presumably will not affect the highway use. I suggest that you take this up with your Town Board, and you :may want to find out the distance between his proposed log fence and the travelled portion of the highway .so you can determine whether the #once will be a traffic hazard. Yours very truly, Albert E. Beswick County Attorney 157 Following a survey of the property in question by the Town Surveyor ?f. John Van Dusen'; action will be taken in this matter fo satisfy both parties involved.
