TO: Honorable Town Board FROM: Jason Foote, Town Engineer DATE: August 24, 2026 SUBJECT: Town Engineer re Transit Road water main project update Requested Action: The Erie County Water Authority (ECWA) recently contacted the Town regarding a proposed change to the location of the new meter vault and water system interconnection on Transit Road. The meter vault and water main crossing were originally proposed to be located immediately north of the new bridge over Cazenovia Creek; however, the improvements will now be relocated further north near the Kwik Fill gas station. In addition, the revised design will include a master pressure reducing valve (PRV) within the meter vault, in lieu of requiring each individual property owner to install a smaller PRV on their water service within their home. The master PRV was not included in the original project estimate, and its addition requires a larger vault and associated modifications to the proposed improvements. The original project cost was estimated at approximately $191,000; however, as a result of the revised location, larger vault, and addition of the master PRV, the updated project cost is estimated at approximately $267,000. Fund balance from Water District No. 1 was planned to be used to fund the project. Therefore, the increased project cost will require approximately $76,000 in additional funding from the Water District No. 1 fund balance. The work is currently anticipated to be completed sometime in September 2026. Once the construction schedule is finalized and the project gets closer to construction, I plan to provide letters to the affected residents notifying them of the upcoming work and anticipated schedule.
