The Village of Penn Yan was a grant recipient of the New York State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Infrastructure Improvement Program through the 2021 Consolidated Funding Application for an award value of $50,000. The Total Projected Funding is $52,250.
Keuka Lake is the sole water supply for the Village of Penn Yan, and currently
experiences algae blooms resulting in microcystins in the raw water. Adverse impact on the water treatment plant due to these blooms could be harmful to the consumer and result in significant and extended water supply issues. The selected engineering firm will be responsible for preparing and providing the Village with an Engineering Report that will, in accordance with the CDBG Planning Program requirements, allow the Village to "initiate a planning process that will result in follow-up implementation of plans to address these critical infrastructure needs." The project includes the evaluation and planning of the Village's Water Treatment Plant. The study will be used to develop immediate and long-term plans for updating the Village's water treatment plant to adequately treat future blooms that exceed health advisory levels and ensure the water is free from cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins, and elevated trihalomethane levels. The proposed Village of Penn Yan WTP Study includes an alternative analysis and development of a Preliminary Engineering Report focused on the following:
1. Alternative filtration methods;
2. Tertiary treatment alternatives;
3. Alternative disinfection methods. The study shall consist of working with the Village to evaluate the existing treatment processes, identify system shortcomings, provide improvement options with supporting cost estimates, develop a Preliminary Engineering Report summarizing findings, and determine how potential improvements shall be implemented on a long-term scale. The Preliminary Engineering Report will support the Village's future efforts to prepare funding applications for programs.
