Water district seeks more village users

The North County Water District has its eyes on more of Fredonia’s water customers. Eric Wies of CPL, the district’s engineers, first told their November board meeting that a recent switchover of customers east and south of the Routes 20 and 60 roundabout to NCWD water is “looking good so far.” He then discussed preliminaries regarding a switchover north of the roundabout. Wies spoke of running a line north of the roundabout to eventually connect with the town of Dunkirk water infrastructure near the Thruway. The town of Dunkirk is a member of the NCWD, which is solely supplied by the city of Dunkirk. CPL is conducting “early explorations” of getting customers north of the roundabout onto the line, Wies said. That area is currently served by Fredonia water — though the village is planning a project to connect with the NCWD and shut its own water treatment plant and reservoir.
