Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, NY

Dear Resident:

I trust this letter finds you well. The Town of Cortlandt is pleased to announce that work associated with the Furnace Woods Sewer Improvement District (FWSD) is underway. The project entails the construction of a sanitary pump station and installation of approximately 7500 linear feet of 6” sanitary sewer pipe starting at 141 Furnace Dock Road, then extending along Furnace Woods Road, Maple and Lafayette Avenues before discharging to the Town’s existing sewer infrastructure near 214 Lafayette Avenue. Sanitary effluent is then conveyed through Town and County infrastructure and is treated at the Westchester County Peekskill Sanitary Treatment Plant.

The Town awarded the construction contract to Shawn’s Lawns after a competitive bidding process in the amount of $5,149,923. The Yeshiva Ohr Hameir received a combination of direct State grant funding in the amount of $2,787,481 and the Yeshiva is also contributing $907,434 towards the balance of construction costs.  MORE AT Furnace Woods Sewer District - Town of Cortlandt, NY News
