Lake Street Water-Sewer-Road Work
Overview: The Village of Saranac Lake has a number of target areas where aging water and sewer infrastructure demands attention for reconstruction and replacement of lines that service various residential neighborhoods.One such neighborhood is the upper part of Lake St., specifically, between View St. and the western intersection with Petrova Ave. Here, the water and sewer lines will be removed and replaced, or repaired if in newer shape. Looking at the water and sewer mains work as a comprehensive project; the Village also plans to repave that stretch of Lake St. The total project cost of $1.3 million, is doable thanks to a $930,000 grant from the State Office of Community Renewal and a zero-interest loan for the remainder of the cost through the state Environmental Facilities Corporation. The project has started as of Monday, July 26th. More information on a timeline, potential closures, and any disruptions to regular water service will be added to this page, and to the Village's Facebook page. Other outreach efforts to residents in the immediate construction zone may also take place.
