Sag Harbor Sewershed Projects Proceed

Thu, 12/12/2024 - 04:12

A Sag Harbor Village plan to connect two sewersheds to the wastewater treatment plant is moving ahead. The village accepted construction bids on the projects at a meeting on Nov. 19, and Aidan Corish of the village board expects the work to begin in early 2025.

The “contractors are sending back documentation,” Kate Locasio, the village clerk, said at a meeting Tuesday night, “and as long as everything is in order, and we get funding in, we can issue the notice to proceed.”

“In the street you’ll get a main line,” Mr. Corish said, describing the contract work, “and then you’ll get laterals that go inside and stop at the property line.” Homeowners will then connect their waste lines to the lateral pipes to be connected to the treatment plant.

“In between now and February we will be holding meetings with the homeowners to bring them up to speed,” Mr. Corish added.

After the village received a review of the bids from IMEG, its engineering consultant, the board awarded one contract to Thomas Novelli Contracting out of Farmingdale and the other to Pioneer Landscaping and Asphalt Paving of Kings Park.

The former contract was awarded at “an amount not to exceed $5,479,245,” and the latter was passed by resolution Tuesday at $8,140,947.
