EXPERIENCE Village of Elba Water System Improvements GRANT FUNDED Location: Elba, NY Client: Village of Elba Completion Date: 2018 CPL was hired by the Village of Elba to provide engineering services for improving their existing water system. This was done in phases in order to expedite providing a new water supply to the Village as soon as possible. Phase 1 involved abandoning the Village’s existing Chapel Well supply, which had poor water quality, and making a new water supply connection to the Town of Batavia Townline Water Project along NYS Route 98. Construction for Phase 1 was completed in the fall of 2016 as part of a Change Order to the Town of Batavia Townline’s Project, eliminating the need to separately bid the project. Phase 2 involved the replacement of approximately 20,000 LF of 6”, 8”, and 12” water main, valves, hydrants, over 250 water services, and the rehabilitation of the existing water storage tank. Bidding of Phase 2 occurred in July of 2017. Construction began in October of 2017 and was completed in June 2018. CPL worked closely with the Village of Elba and Town of Elba throughout the project because the Town was planning a separate townwide Water District that surrounded the Village. This was critical because the two water systems would be interconnected in several locations. Additionally, the Town was constructing a new 350,000-gallon water storage tank. Instead of rehabilitating the Village’s existing tank, the Village made a one-time contribution to the Town of Elba tank for fire protection and also deeded the existing Village tank lands to the Town for construction of the new Town tank. CPL also assisted the two communities in developing an intermunicipal agreement (IMA) for the flushing of water between the water systems which eliminated the need for six costly master meter vaults around the Village. The overall project budget was $3,463,000. The Village of Elba received a $2,077,000 grant from NYS EFC and a low interest loan from USDA Rural Development. 28 Page 98 of 301
