Laying Pipe

Pipeline Forum

Times Herald Record

The Town of Woodbury has scheduled an information session on Thursday to discuss neighboring Kiryas Joel's water-pipeline construction and a dormant well the village hopes to connect to the pipe when work reaches the Mountainville section of Cornwall.
The forum will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Woodbury Senior Center at 16 County Route 105 in Highland Mills.
County Legislator Roxanne Donnery, Woodbury Supervisor John Burke and New Paltz attorney David Gordon are set to speak. Gordon represents the Town of Woodbury and the villages of Woodbury and Harriman in litigation over the well and pipeline.
Earlier this year, Kiryas Joel began installing a 24-inch-wide pipe along the side of Orange County Route 44 in Woodbury for the first of what it says will be two phases of construction of a 13.5-mile pipeline to the Catskill Aqueduct in New Windsor.
The current litigation seeks to stop the work until the village has gotten all permits for the project.
