TO: Honorable Town Board FROM: Jason Foote, Town Engineer DATE: May 11, 2026 SUBJECT: Town Engineer re Transit Road Low Pressure - Cooperation Agreement Requested Action: As you are aware, residents along the west side of Transit Road between Seneca Street and the bridge over Cazenovia Creek experience low water pressure. Several potential solutions were evaluated, and it was determined that connecting the existing West Seneca water system to the higher-pressure Elma system is the preferred approach. The project includes installing a new water main across Transit Road, constructing a master meter vault, and connecting to the existing Elma water main. The Erie County Water Authority (ECWA) has completed the design and coordinated the work with the ongoing NYSDOT bridge replacement project. Construction is tentatively scheduled for June or July 2026. The estimated project cost is $191,000, which will be funded through the available fund balance in Water District No. 1. A Cooperative Agreement has been prepared to formalize this effort. Under the Agreement, ECWA will complete the work, West Seneca will fund the project, and Elma will allow use of its system for the interconnection. The Agreement also clearly defines ownership, costs, and responsibilities among all parties. The Town Attorney has reviewed the Agreement, and the Town of Elma has executed it. Upon your review and approval, please authorize the Supervisor to sign the attached Cooperative Agreement. RESOLUTION: ATTACHMENTS: 1. Transit Road Low Pressure Cooperation Agreement Page 84 of 280
