Earlville sets vote for Jan. 6
EARLVILLE – After a decision was made by Supreme Court Judge Elizabeth Garry supporting a petition for a water project vote in the Village of Earlville, relatively few village residents attended a public meeting held Wednesday to discuss it.
Approximately 10 village residents attended Wednesday night’s public hearing to listen to information about the proposed $3.4 million water system improvement project. The village has proposed moving forward with the project, which would correct serious problems with the water system, including several hydrants that don’t function, low water pressure and brown water that spews from some taps in the village.
The project would call for the replacement of all of the original cast iron piping, hydrants and valves in the village would be replaced. In addition, the village would add a new water storage tank, a back up generator, a back up chemical pump, chemical containment and ventilation at the treatment facility, insulation to the inside of the piping at the treatment facility to prevent corrosion, and an additional 140 feet of piping to provide additional chlorine contact time.
The village will have the opportunity to vote on the proposed project from noon to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 6 at the village office. Madison and Chenango County residents will vote at the one location this year. The vote will be run by the Madison County Board of Elections. Village residents who are not registered to vote will have to register at least 10 days prior to Jan. 6 in order to be eligible to vote. Absentee ballots should be obtained from the Board of Elections as soon as possible.
According to Village Clerk Christian Vischi, the majority of questions asked at the public hearing pertained to the funding for the water project. Although Earlville has secured a $500,000 grant for the project, state law requires the total project amount to be included in the referendum. Voters will still be asked to approve allowing the village to secure serial bonds in the amount of $3.485 million.
The village has secured a loan for the remaining $2.9 million, but the low interest rate of 2.75 percent is not guaranteed after the first of the year. If the project is approved, the village board will have the right to discuss their options once an interest rate is set and to chose whether or not to pursue the project at that time.
