Site work for a water / sewer project in Goshen, New York. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

After an interior inspection of the Water Tank and review of design cost estimates it is recommended the County pursue a full replacement of the Golden Hill Water Tower. This project includes funding to replace the tower with a new glass lined tower which will require minimum preventative maintenance over the next 50 years. The tank is 50 years old with a life expectancy of 50 years. It is more cost effective to construct a new tank while the existing tank is operational than allocating funds for exterior and interior painting every 15 years. Interior painting would require a full shutdown for sandblasting and the rental of a temporary tank. The current capital is established for $640,640 for safety upgrades and improvements. The funds that have not been spent will be reallocated to the replacement of the tank. There is grant funding available for a potential offset of up to 60%. In addition, the remaining expenses will be distributed based off of the Golden Hill Declaration of Reciprocal Easements This project is in included in the Ulster County FY 2023 - 2028 CIP. As of February 23, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
