Friday, July 3, 1964 Oneonta Star 3 Oneonta Town Board Given Alternative Plans for Sewers Contract With City Town of Oneonta officers, preparing to embark on a program that may culminate with a sanitary sewer system to serve the cpngested West End, were given two alternatives Thursday night on which to base the plan. William H. Steane, project engineer of Lozier Engineers Rochester, told the Town Board that the choices are: ONE, to build a sewer sys- complete to a sewerage treatment plant. TWO, to build a sewer system and contract with the City of Oneonta for disposal of the sewerage therefrom. Mr.

Steane also gave the town's officers some estimates on which to base their more immediate calculations with an overall cost for the complete system, treatment plant and all, of slightly over $1 million. He actually gave the estimates for three separate plans of which the second and third varied only in the manner in which wastes would be conveyed to the city's trunk lines. The principal difference between the costs lies in the expense of building a treatment plant, Mr. Steane said, as he pointed out that the cost of a modern, contemporary plant plant would be approximately $265,000. CONTRACT LESS COSTLY? He said that the plans which call for contracting with the city for sewerage disposal appear to be less costly but that this is a matter which rests entirely on what kind of a hard and firm contract the Town could negotiate with the city.

In this description of the proposed programs, Mr. Steane based his conclusions on an updated version of a 1949 sewer survey conducted by Lozier Engineering for the town. Some time ago the town's officers authorized the engineering firm to bring the survey up to date for $500 so that the town could be in a position to apply for federal aid provided the citizenry of the affected area agreed at a referendum that sewers were needed. Last night Mr. Steane showed the town officers plus members of the Town Planning Board and Board of Assessors, a graphic map which outlined the areas in which sewer service is proposed.

He provided them with figures on an item-by-item basis, calling the items "building blocks" so that a sewer committee could put in or take out items and still have a very fair estimate of the cost of the proi gram desired. COSTS DOUBLED-AND MORE He noted the change in the estimated costs over the 1949 survey, pointing out that the construction of the sewer system would cost only about twice as much as in 1949, but that the cost of the treatment plant is from four to five times as great when compared to the 1949 figures. Mr. Steane, who has been in charge of the project here, also gave the town officers a schedule by which to proceed on the project. Schedule items by order but not by date, were: ONE: Form a committee or committees, preferably a five man Executive Committee and a 21 member Citizen's Advisory Committee to deal with the subject.

TWO: Apply for a federal planning grant which will, if the project is awarded an Accelerated Public Works Grant, be forgiven by the federal authorities. THREE: Bring the matter to the citizens of the area by one of three methods, a petition; a referendum, or a permissive referendum. FOUR: Apply for an Accelerated Public Works grant which might supply 50 per cent of all costs. FIVE: If the- grant is awarded, commence the project. "I don't hope to get this ready this year," he said, "but we could be ready for July 1965."
