Apparently there is some discrepancy between her engineer's. distances and the Board of Health's assessment of the distance required to issue a well permit. Ms. Forcina lives on a fixed income.

Foley in regards to your recent application to drill a well on your property at 87 Hewitt Street in the Town of Putnam Valley. In speaking with Mr. Foley, he has suggested several options you could explore to address your water concerns. 1. Continue to use the water supply developed years ago as a seasonal water supply. For your information the New York State Health Department will be requiring filtration of this supply to be in compliance with Part 5 of the New York State Sanitary Code. 2. Pursue sharing of an adjoining well water source through legal easements. ::.. 3::......�. , Request that the Town of Putnam Valley prepare- and.submit- a-prapgsal..to the Health_.._.. Department where all remaining summer water users will be permanently removed from the summer supply. This could be accomplished by sharing wells or drilling wells on vacant Town owned land. All wells would have to meet current Health Department standards. Let me assure you that this office and the Health Department will work in any way we can assist you in this matter.

Bondi and myself, please be advised Ms. Forcina has applied for a permit to drill a well on her property which is currently being served by a summer water supply (Lake Peekskill). The Department received her application and after discussion with Ms. Forcina and her engineer, rejected the application on the basis the well did not meet current separation distances of well to septic of 100'. Her well would be 88' to her sanitary system and 88 feet to an adjacent sanitary system (see letters attached). Ms. Forcina has stated there are wells which do not meet current separation distances, which is correct, however these wells were drilled prior to our well permit application requirements. In addition, Ms. Forcina and/or her family has known that this dwelling has always been served by a seasonal water supply.. Issuing a waiver from our requirements would only serve to set a precedent for the remaining summer property owners to apply for permits which do not meet code requirements. This would expose a number of homeowners to the potential of drinking water which may not meet bacteriological standards and could present a risk to public health. My suggestion to Ms. Forcina would be for her and others impacted to approach the Town of Putnam Valley and request the Town address the long awaited sewer /water issue facing the residents of Lake Peekskill.

SECTYIEDITOR•I Q •P B •MUM -REC SEC'T1'•�� -�•� PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE The Lake Peekskill Water and Sewer project has been the "impossible dream" of Lake Peekskill. Since 1972, for 28 years, every Town Board has made some effort to appease the homeowners. The cost factor went from $6,910,000 to $57,000,000. Is .it any wonder why the project becomes "impossible "? If the homeowners' monthly share in 1982 would have averaged $438 a month, are we to accept that in 2000, the average share would only be between $199 and $286 a month? Added to this is the. homeowners' hook -up costs. In the earlier years, the average amount was $1000 per household, while the current average is be- tween$1700 and $2500. Not clearly spelled out was the location site of the home to the hook -up line. Are you down in a gully? Up a rocky slope? Far back from the pipe line? Location sites could double or triple hook -up costs to the homeowner. We have been told that low cost homeowners loans are "out there '.' Yet no information was ever given on how to apply for said loans. The latest report in 1999 to past supervisor Anderson from Insite Engineering was the first time some revelation was stated why Lake Peekskill cannot have water /sewer.... "This is clearly an unaffordable level of expenditure in an area in which the average household income was $42,000..." Page 2 of thelnsite letter to Mr. Anderson indicated four grant programs were available to municipalities in N.Y.S. The first two are out of the question, while the other two were "doubtful" for the Lake Peekskill community. _ Thus..�.e fziial.ly, get_. the, r_eas'on= 'Why ;xt' for all past administrations not to give water and - sewers the homeowners in Lake Peekskill. It now appears they were all passing the buck to the,next administration. None wanted to be the "fall- guys" by not fulfilling pre- campaign promises of giving their constituents the long awaited water /sewers to the homeowners of Lake Peekskill. Be alert and stay abreast of all future developments concerning the Water /Sewer project. It's your money elected officials are spending. Let your voice be heard. ARE YOU "FOR" or "AGAINST ". Many thanks to the well - wishers for their concern and prayers for my wife's recovery to good health. My wife's ill- ness prevented my participation in the monthly. LPCA meetings. 1st Vice Pres. Mel Levenson and 2nd Vice Pres. Ted Muniack ably performed and conductuJthe official LPCA meetings during my absence. The entire membership should be very concerned with the new leadership of the LPCA. Next month, a nominating committee will be appointed to consider candidates for the next administration. Several positions will need to be filled. All interested persons should contact any member on the Board of Directors to have your name submitted to the nominating committee. Anthony C.

Funding was available, provided Lake Peekskill tied into Westchester Coun No vcr,- tlie-es irnated cost.. was .too high,_ even though 75 % -of would have come from�Fed - I' aid and 12'/2% from State aid. The most recent past administration had indicated that four (4) grant programs were avail- ) s, able to municipalities in New York State. However, and unfortunately, while Lake Peekskill clearly 6�r „f does not qualify for two of these grants, application for the remaining two, resulted in being classi- . kP fled as merely "doubtful ". The reason? Insite Engineering revealed that Lake Peekskill cannot ev 4F have a year round water /sewer system because the cost of approximately $57 million is "...clearly <° an unaffordable level of expenditure in an area in which the average household income is (no greater than) $42,000 ". Now we know why the project has been the "IMPOSSIBLE DREAM" for the Lake Peekskill Improvement District. Since we finally have an answer to why is has taken 28 YEARS for all past administrations �y> NOT to provide a year round water and sewer system to the Lake Peekskill Improvement District, . are we left any other choice but to conclude that apparently each successive Town Board was sim- I', " 'ply "passing the buck" to the next.administration? It certainly makes one wonder if the rules of ¢` each transition period .were ever- observed and /or carried out when the all important issue of water °n xr & sewers for Lake Peekskill became the responsibility and obligation of each new administration. .. t Do we -now accept that none wanted to be the "fall -guys" by not fulfilling pre - campaign promises of {. giving their Lake Peekskill constituents the long awaited water and sewer system?1 Other thoughts for consideration: Was there ever a consensus taken as to the actual per family household income? What percentage of homeowners /taxpayers actually do, or do not, want° ``N water & sewers? Every Lake Peekskill homeowner, taxpayer, and resident must be alert and keep them- 4e q, selves informed of all future developments concerning the progress of the Water /Sewer Committee *.. and every aspect of the project. Remember, the committee meetings which are. open to the public, ., are announced in this News Letter and posted at Town Hall. It's your money that elected officials are spending.

SECTYIEDITOR:I R ^ -5 RE 5 C PRESIDENTTS MESSAGE - The Lake Peekskill Water and Sewer project has been the "impossible dream" of Lake Peekskill. Since 1972, for 28 years, I . every Town Board has made some effort to appease the homeowners. The cost factor went from $6,910,000 to $57,000,000. Is it any wonder why the project becomes "impossible "? If the homeowners' monthly share in 1982 would have averaged $438 a month, are we to accspt that in 2000, the average share would only be between $199 and $286 a month? Added to this is the homeowners' hook -up costs. In the earlier years, the average amount was $1000 per household, while the current average is be- tween$1700 and $2500. Not clearly spelled out was the location site of the home to the hook -up line. Are you down in a gully? Up a rocky slope? Far back from the pipe line? Location sites could double or triple hook -up costs to the homeowner. We have been told that low cost homeowners loans are "out there'.' Yet no information was ever given on how to apply for said loans. The latest report in 1999 to past supervisor Anderson from Insite Engineering was the first time some revelation was stated why Lake Peekskill cannot have water /sewer.... "This is clearly an unaffordable level of expenditure in an area in which the average household income was $42,000..." Page 2 of thelnsite letter to Mr. Anderson indicated four grant programs were available to municipalities in N.Y.S. The first two are out of the question, while the other two were "douiitL'uL "' for °the::Lake Pe,eks.kill-, community . Thus we finally -get the reason`w"fiy�•'it" la'a raic ;i° �8' -years for all past administrations not to give water and sewers to the homeowners in Lake Peekskill. It now appears they were all passing the buck to the next administration. None wanted to be the "fall- guys" by not fulfillin'S pre- campaign promises 'of giving their constituents the long awaited water /sewers to the homeowners of Lake Peekskill. Be alert and stay abreast of all future developments concerning the Water /Sewer project. It's your money elected officials are spending. Let your voice be heard. ARE YOU "FOR" or "AGAINST ". Many thanks to the well - wishers for their concern and prayers for my wife's recovery to good health. My wife's ill- ness prevented my participation in the monthly LPCA meetings. 1st Vice Pres. Mel Levenson and 2nd Vice Pres. Ted Muniack ably performed and conducWthe official LPCA meetings during my absence. The entire membership should be very concerned with the new leadership of the LPCA. Next, month, a nominating committee will be appointed to consider candidates for the next administration. - -... Several positions will need to be filled. All interested persons should contact any member on the Board of Directors to have your name submitted to the nominating committee. Anthony C. Abilo President ANITT?D Editor of Newsletter.

August,: 1 ;998 Dear Mr. Hedges, I am writing this letter on behalf of myself and my mother, who will be 88 years old on November 3, 1998. I am asking for a permit to construct a water well on my property. I understand I need 100 ft. from an existing septic system, and I am coming up a little short. I know I am the only one in my surrounding area without a water well. But, I also know I have the most property (6 lots.) My house in LakePeekskill is my primary home. I am here from April until November each year. My taxes are paid on time, in full, and I vote here as well. In the winter months, my mother and I live with my daughters at: 8834 Ft. Hamilton Pkwy., Brooklyn, NY 11209. The landlord is selling the house and now this is the only home my mother and I have to come. I know you don't have time for this, but I must tell you about my history in LakePeekskill. My father, Mr. Paul Sarkisian, bought the house in 1940. He applied and received a well permit in 1957, or there about. With all the changes we made over the years, we have not been able to locate the permit. He happened to apply for the permit with our then neighbor, Mr. George Donnely. I spent my childhood here and my children spent their childhood here as well. All of them have a deep love for our home in LakePeekskill. We also had many family reunions here throughout the. years. As a result, the Forcina's family, my in -laws, my nieces and nephews all look back with fond- mem-ories. My father and my husband are both buried in Hillside Cemetery. Our dream was to retire in our home in LakePeekskill, but now it's my dream; mine and my mother's. Please don't let it die for a few feet of ground. orcina HELEN FORCINA P.0 Box 469. Bruce Foley Putnam Coimtv Health Department I Geneva Road Brewster, NY 10509 Dear Mr. Foley, September 28, 1999 Well Permit Request I am writing to request a permit to dig a well on my property. I have previously requested this permit numerous times with your office. The situation has now become dire! Last March my mother who is 89 years young, had eye surgery, which has left her legally blind. Due to her age and the surgery, she is unable to make the trip back and forth to the city. We are currently residing with my daughter who is getting married October 9, 1999. After she gets married we will be unable to stay with her. So as you can see I have quite a problem, which can be solved if you and the board appl'i-6-vc my . perruiL request wi(i . alluvv me to dig my well. The Engineer, Mike Dobler, has already submitted the blueprints for the well to you. ......
