Committee Purposes: what we see as our responsibility. 1- To serve as an advisory group for the Genoa Town Board and as a representative of Water District customers. 2- To stay current with issues and technical needs of our Water District; reviewing changes that may be necessary to update, maintain or improve our water system. 3- To try to keep informed about expansion plans and needs of our Water District; including the general discussion with the County Sewer and Water group, neighboring towns and Lansing's Bolton Point. 4- Strive to upgrade or simplify the Water District's bookkeeping information and the records of our water system.

Objectives of the Committee- goals for the coming year.

1- Encourage that work begins this fall to improve hydrant safety by landscaping needed areas. We understand that money has been allocated and a contractor needs to be engaged. 2- Purpose to prepare a customer information letter and questionnaire to update data for Water District's records/. This would include address changes, identifying land owner verses tenant, tax parcel number, unused meters, etc. 3- Get started correcting/moving unsafe or unreadable meters. This will include informing the customer of their responsibility. 4- Further study computer improvements needed for the Water District. This may include checking into possible updating of the DOS program, a revamp to Windows or the Williams Law Book Program. 5- Attention may be given to restructuring Water District rate charges for new water hook ups and on/off hookups. This will also include discussion on meter ownership and auditor concerns of funds in the operating budget. Our plan is to have at least on more meeting in 2002 to get rolling on some of the above. We anticipate a future request for funds to carry out the mailing of materials to the Water District' customers.
