The Authority continued its efforts to
foster relationships with local
municipalities to assist them in their quest
to provide water more efficiently and
affordably, on behalf of their residents.
The Municipal Liaison led the effort by
working with state, county, local government
officials, and their land use and engineering
personnel, to develop strategies concerning
Western New York's current and future water
supply needs.
The Authority also continued its
participation on the Southern Tier West
Regional Planning Board Technology Committee,
which deals with Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) and commerce issues. The
Authority distributes its GIS mapping data to
municipalities to help plan for water
infrastructure needs.
In cooperation with local governments, the
Authority also coordinated the planning,
design and construction of several water
supply and distribution projects; including
the replacement of waterlines in the Towns of
Amherst, Lancaster and West Seneca, and the
construction of new lines to service
residential and commercial developments in
Amherst, Clarence, Hamburg, Orchard Park,
Cheektowaga and Lancaster.
The Authority, in conjunction with the
Monroe County Water Authority, also completed
work on the Genesee County Public Water
Supply program and will begin supplying water
to western Genesee County in late 2002.
