The purpose of the requested resolution is to obtain County consent to the issuance of Notes and Bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $21,875,700 on behalf of Quaker Hill Water System (County Water District Zone of Assessment U), Dutchess Estates Water (County Water District Zone of Assessment 029A&B), South Cross Water (County Water District Zone of Assessment 030), and North Park Water (County Water District Zone of Assessment 031). The purpose of the Notes and Bonds is to fund improvements to the Quaker Hill Water System and provide an interconnection between the Quaker Hill Water and the Hyde Park Regional Water Systems. The improvement will also provide an interconnection to the Dutchess Estates and South Cross (Golden Meadows) communities, as well as allow for the connection of each property along the route. This will provide a new water supply source for the Quaker Hill and Dutchess Estates Water Systems to replace groundwater wells that have been impacted by PFAS and PFOS contamination, and replace the water treatment facilities at Quaker Hill, South Cross and Dutchess Estates Water Systems, which have been impacted by aging infrastructure. Debt service on the Notes and Bonds will become a component of the County Service Fee payable by the County to the Authority pursuant to the Service Agreement by and between the County on behalf of the County Water District and the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority, Dated June 1, 1998, Amended and Twentieth Restatement as of December 1, 2025. The County will generate the revenues necessary to pay this component of the Service Fee by levying benefit assessments against all properties within the County Water District Zones of Assessments U, 029A&B, 030 and 031. Included with the resolution request is Resolution2023110, which may provide guidance on previous adopted resolutions of past requests.
