Deposit receives $140K grant

Delhi News Bureau

DEPOSIT _ The village of Deposit is receiving a grant of $140,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission to help expand and upgrade the community's wastewater-treatment plant.

The upgrades, also funded by government sources, are expected to provide flood protection, update treatment capabilities and provide capacity needed to serve development and the 770 existing customers.

"This is great news for Delaware County, which has been the epicenter of recent flooding disasters," Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a media release. "As our small cities grow, we need to ensure that they have the proper water and sewer infrastructure to prevent flooding and to serve business expansions and future growth."

Deposit's location at the head of the Delaware River basin makes the wastewater-treatment plant vulnerable to flooding. The village is unable to serve potential business expansion because of restricted flows at the plant, the release said, and has been cited as chronically violating permit limitations.

With the funds from the ARC, as well as federal sources providing $4,640,000 and New York's Office of Small Cities providing $400,000, the village is expected to expand the plant's daily treatment capacity from 0.4 to 0.7 million gallons, upgrade treatment capabilities and protect the facility from future flooding.

The ARC describes itself on its website as a federal-state partnership that works for sustainable community and economic development in Appalachia. Chenango, Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie are among New York counties listed by ARC as being in Appalachia.
