3 issues in water utilities with high priority
Hoag Lane Drainage District
The Town Board declined to form the drainage district the Planning Board recommended for the 16-lot Hoag Lane subdivision and sent it back for reconsideration of an HOA alternative. Work on the site has stopped and neighbors have complained about muddy conditions. The board is standing by the drainage district and hiring its former attorney to respond formally.
Muirfield Drive stormwater improvement project
A $372,000 contract with IDH LLC moves forward for stormwater fixes on Muirfield Drive.
Northern Manlius Sanitary Sewer Project
The town is taking its first formal step toward sewers in northern Manlius, where about 190 homes and businesses rely on septic systems. The RFQ will bring engineering cost estimates and funding strategies — residents would then decide whether to proceed. It could also unlock development potential tied to the new zoning and Micron-related growth.
