At its October 25 meeting, the Sweden Town Board authorized Town Engineer, the MRB Group, to update the Town’s Comprehensive Water Study that was last updated in 2018. Much has changed since the 2018 update: the Town’s expansion of public water on Lake Road, Redman Road, and Countryview Terrace; the Town of Bergen’s expansion of public water on Reed Road; the cost of materials and labor; and the 2020 census which may affect how federal assistance is allocated.
The update will help the Town plan its next water expansion project. The Town has been looking at several options over the past two years, none of which has met the State Comptroller’s threshold of affordability or potentially qualified for federal assistance. “We hope the study will help us identify the next successful project,” said Supervisor Kevin Johnson. “Public water expansion remains a high priority for many residents and for the Sweden Town Board.”
