Local and state officials ceremoniously break ground on a $3.8 million project that will provide potable water to residents and businesses in the towns of Phelps, Geneva, Waterloo and Junius.
PHELPS — By the time a $3.8 million water project is completed in an area near Thruway Exit 42, 600 to 800 people in the towns of Phelps and Geneva in Ontario County and Waterloo and Junius in Seneca County will have access to clean drinking water.
“This will open our corridor for commercial business, but my main objective is healthy, clean water for our residents,” said Teed, shortly after a ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday at the site on Route 14.
“This is a big win for taxpayers,” said Geneva Town Supervisor Mark Venuti.
