IMPORTANT: Recap of 1/24 Sewer Forum, ANOTHER FORUM 3/1

For the many Tivolians who did not attend the important Sewer Forum held by the Village Board of Trustees on January 24th, this email will convey to you the critical information that was presented that night.

The essential points of the presentation:

Tivoli’s existing wastewater treatment plant is beyond repair and a complete replacement with a new plant is imperative.

The current plant is failing to meet the State’s requirements of our SPDES permit and Tivoli is under a consent order from the NYS DEC to start meeting the permit requirements within 30 months or face costly fines. (SPDES is State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System).

The new sewer plant and attendant upgrades to the pump station and collection system are anticipated to cost $13,400,000. Yes, $13.4 million. If more funding is not secured, these costs could result in an additional $1,000 per year per household.

THERE WILL BE A SECOND SEWER PROJECT FORUM WEDNESDAY MARCH 1ST AT 6:30pm. This will repeat information from the 1/24 meeting and continue with information about the collection system (which was not covered on 1/24). ALL users of the Village Sewer System are urged to attend, especially if you missed the first forum.

The Village Board and the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority are doing and will continue to do everything possible to get this new plant in place, meet our Consent Order, and pursue the funding necessary to ease the financial burden on all users of the system.

Sincerely,

Mayor Griffith

The Village of Tivoli offices are located in the beautifully restored Historic Watts dePeyster Hall.  Now the cornerstone of the Village, the former firemen’s hall was renovated and returned to a place of prominence in 1994.

Village administrative offices, justice court and Tivoli Free Library keep the building in constant use.

The Karl & Edith Schoenborn Meeting Hall is a terrific meeting space. The third floor hall is used for conferences, classes, peer mediation, presentations and small parties.

Tivoli may be small, but we offer so many important municipal services. The Historic Watts dePeyster Hall stands proudly over the Tivoli Commons municipal campus, and all of your village staff and officials are proud to serve.
