WHEREAS

the Final Revised Apportionment for the Municipal Sewer System – Phase I Resolution approved by the Village Board on May 17, 2021, includes an assessment of full capital and operation & maintenance (O&M) fees for Knollwood Commons
the Sewer construction project, as approved by the Dutchess County Department of Health, called for the use of existing septic tanks and pump systems at Knollwood Commons
the Village is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the force main system, into which the Knollwood Commons septic system connected, and the upkeep and maintenance of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), but not the operation, maintenance, and repairs of the existing Knollwood Commons system
the full capital and O&M fees include the cost of operation, maintenance, and repairs of the full system

the capital and O&M fees for Knollwood Commons reflect the costs for their system as constructed as follows: Capital Cost: Total anticipated construction cost $7.24MM. The portion related to the force main system and the WWTP totals $5.0MM or 69%; O&M Cost: Estimate in 2021 for total annual O&M costs is $91.5k. The portion related to the force main system and the WWTP totals $69.6k or 76%
Knollwood Commons will be charged going forward the following fees per EDU: Capital Cost: 69% of charge per EDU. Currently $716/yr x 69% = $494.04/yr or $123.51/qtr; O&M Cost: 76% of charge per EDU. Currently $311/yr x 76% = $236.36/yr or $59.09/qtr
these charges can be reviewed should changes be warranted in the future
