SHERIDAN — For over a year since the project was first approved, more than 60 customers have been waiting for the formation of Water District 4 in the town of Sheridan. Now, the contracts for the project to proceed with construction have been officially approved.

At a recent meeting, the Sheridan Town Board approved the low bid for the construction of the newly formed Water District 4. S. St. George Enterprises will handle the construction of the project for $336,200.

Water District 4 will consist of properties along portions of South Roberts Road, Miller Road, and Route 20. The project includes the installation of 62 water services, including meter pits and water meters. The service will connect to the existing water main.

More than 20 residents were in attendance at a public hearing regarding the proposed project a year ago, along with a representative from CPL. The majority of the comments from the public were positive and in support of the project. Following the public hearing, last January, the town of Sheridan entered into a contract with Municipal Solutions to assist with the formation of Water District 4.

Also of note in the town, the Sheridan Justice Court disposed of 124 vehicle traffic law cases, two civil law cases, two penal law cases, and one Environmental Conservation Law case in the month of October. As a result, a total of $13,825 was collected and turned over to the Town for distribution.

The Sheridan Town Clerk’s Office collected a total of $199.50 in fees for the month of October, with $174.50 turned over to the Town and $25 sent to the State Department of Agriculture and Markets.

The Code Enforcement Office received 10 building permit applications; issued 10 certificates of occupancy and nine certificates of compliance; and conducted 26 inspections on construction in the month of October. Additionally, one complaint was investigated; one notice of a violation was issued; and one stop work order was issued. With a total of 129 hours worked in the month, $525 was collected in fees.

The Town Board also authorized Code Enforcement Officer James Crowell to attend an annual educational conference in Amherst Jan. 26-28 at a total cost of $804 for registration, meals, lodging and chapter dues.

The next meeting of the Sheridan Town Board will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Sheridan Community Center.
