SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board wishes to make certain improvements to the
Queensbury Consolidated Water District being the replacement of a water main along Main Street, and
WHEREAS, a Map, Plan and Report has been prepared by Barton & Loguidice, P.C.,
professional engineers licensed by the State of New York concerning the proposed Water District

WHEREAS, the Town Board accepts such Map, Plan and Report as the Map, Plan and
Report for the Water District improvements and such Map, Plan and Report has been filed in the
Queensbury Town Clerk's Office and is available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report describes exactly what work is proposed to be

WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to authorize such improvements to the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District and the replacement of the currently obsolete, inadequate or worn-
out water main along Main Street, and
WHEREAS, Part I of an Environmental Assessment Form has been prepared and presented at
this meeting and a coordinated SEQRA review is desired,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED:
1.The Queensbury Town Board shall hold a public hearing to consider the
improvement of the Queensbury Consolidated Water District by replacing the water main along Main
Street, Queensbury as described in the Map, Plan and Report. The proposed improvements are as
described in such Map, Plan and Report, including the replacement of the aged 8” water main along
Main Street with a new 12” water main and which improvements would also provide an additional
connection from the existing 12” water main coming from the west along Corinth Road, thereby
improving pressure and flow to the Queensbury Consolidated Water District.
2.It is proposed that construction of the water main would immediately precede the
currently planned road reconstruction project. Since this is a replacement of an existing water main, it
is not expected that there will be any lands to be acquired and it is expected that the water main would
be placed in the highway rights-of-way along the northern portion of Main Street as more specifically
shown in the Map, Plan and Report.
3.The maximum estimated cost for these improvements to the Queensbury Consolidated
Water District is $470,000.
4.The Map, Plan and Report describing the improvements, the capital project costs and
all other related matters is on file with the Queensbury Town Clerk and it is available for public
inspection.
5.The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
th
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, New York 12804 at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 6, 2003 to
consider the Map, Plan and Report, hear all persons interested in the proposal and take such other and
further action as may be required or authorized by law.

Notice of the Public Hearing and file a certified copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on
or about the date of publication.

Department to prepare a report on any environmental impacts that should be considered at the
time a SEQRA review is conducted.
