Summary of Survey Results
Following the March Town Board meeting, the Town Board requested that the Livingston County Water and Sewer Authority (Authority) provide a timeline and action items for a public engagement process to receive public comment and further evaluate the community support for an additional water district. This was requested as part of an effort to evaluate the viability of a smaller, more focused, water district to serve residents that have expressed interest and/or need in receiving public water, as opposed to the Town wide water district proposed in 2023. In addition, the Town Board wanted to evaluate the possibility of utilizing, at least in part, existing grant funds the Town has received from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) by a grant awarded in September 2023.
