Village of Gowanda - Project Summary Sheet - April 8, 2026

  Deficiencies continued:
  Point Peter Reservoir & Allen Spings site security and watershed
  vulnerability / protection
  Layne Well house on E. Hill Street is in very poor condition
  Some existing wells that require proper decommissioning to protect
  aquifer
  Aged out-of-service water infrastructure on Hill Street and off Armes
  Court that warrants decommissioning

  2” galvanized pipe within the distribution system and 6” mains from 1889
  (127 years old) still in service
  SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) within the water
  system is severely underutilized

  o  The EDU analysis was completed for the Village/water system.

  o  Historical water meter billing records and water department production records
  were analyzed and summarized.

  o  Base mapping of Distribution System in CAD has been completed; pipe age,
  material, and size has been determined based on record drawings and
  operator/ engineer insight. Schematic drawings for each existing process have also
  been completed.

  o  Water modeling is underway, hydrant flow testing plans are being discussed with
  Mark Burr and will be coordinated shortly with Kirk Trumpore now that the
  weather is cooperating. We are looking to begin flow testing in the coming weeks,

  °  Preliminary Engineer’s Report is advancing in following areas:
  Project Background and History - Completed
  System Present Condition and Deficiencies - Nearly Completed
  Alternative Analysis - Deficiencies identified, alternatives are being developed.
  Discussion with Village (Mark Burr) will begin shortly. Cost analysis for
  alternatives being developed has been initiated.
