SUNY Fredonia is calling on the village of Fredonia to work with the university on installing an alternate source of water from the city of Dunkirk.
Frank Pagano, president of the university’s College Council and a former mayor of Fredonia, laid out the request at the start of Wednesday’s council meeting. The council voted to send the village a letter outlining the request.
“The university and our students have struggled together with the village” as its water system deals with problems, the letter states.
Citing “all-too-frequent water emergencies,” the letter says that the time has come for the village and the university to work with the city of Dunkirk on providing a backup source.
The letter backs a plan laid out by Dunkirk officials a few months ago for that backup source. Under the plan, the city would construct a line from its Willowbrook Avenue storage tank to the campus.
