At this time, the installation of
the water main is complete. The water mains on Densmore Road, West
Transit Church Road and Zig Zag Road have been installed, tested and
disinfected. The Orleans County Health Department has given approval
for the new water main to be placed into service.
If you haven’t done so already, you
may now have your service installed from the curb stop at the road
right-of-way to your home. Property owners are responsible for
connection to the curb stop, extension of the water services to
their buildings and for internal plumbing changes. The homeowner can
obtain the water meter, backflow prevention device and two shut-off
valves for either side of the water service installations is
available at the Town Hall.
The residents should also clearly
mark any underground piping, wires and conduits on their property,
so that their contractor can avoid damaging these utilities.
Homeowners connecting to the new water main must disconnect their
well supply prior to receiving water from the Town of Gaines. A
representative from the Town of Gaines will be required to enter
each property to verify that the well supply is disconnected. The
purpose for separating the well system from the new system is to
protect the public from potential contamination from the well
supply.
The final restoration of your
property, which includes driveway restoration, fine grading, top
soiling where necessary and seeding, will be completed in the Fall.
If you have any
questions or comments with regards to the water project, please
contact Ron Mannella, the Gaines Highway & Water Superintendent at
(585)589-5833 or Town Clerk Jean Klatt at *585)589-4592.
