Special Rules for Ag Parcels
Parcels in agricultural production in an Ag District are totally exempt from special assessments for water EXCEPT for a house and 1 acre, and any farm buildings that connect to the public water.
![Page 17: Town of Sennett Water District No. 8 Public Information ... Town Board Town Supervisor Peter Adams Town Board Members Jerrold Eades Richard Gagliardi James Jeffers Edward Rizzo](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022600/5b3d1b9d7f8b9a986e8d6a1a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Estimated Project Costs
Total Estimated Capital Cost $ 3,695,000
Annual Debt Service Repayment* $ 177,294
Total Number of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU)** 243
Bond Repayment Cost per EDU = $177,294/243 EDU’s
= $729.60/Year/EDU
*Assumes NO USDA Grant with 3.5% Bond for 38 Years and subject to change each quarter. The interest rate increased 1% since the December 6, 2016 Public Information Meeting.
** The “Benefit Basis Method” is being used to determine cost sharing between properties. A typical one-family home uses approximately 60,000 gallons/year and is charged 1 Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) charge.
![Page 18: Town of Sennett Water District No. 8 Public Information ... Town Board Town Supervisor Peter Adams Town Board Members Jerrold Eades Richard Gagliardi James Jeffers Edward Rizzo](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022600/5b3d1b9d7f8b9a986e8d6a1a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why was the “Benefit Basis Method” chosen
and NOT the “Ad Valorem (AV) Method” ?
– The need for water is not based upon the value of one’s home, but the
fact that everyone EQUALLY needs a safe and reliable supply of water.
– The “Benefit Basis” provides a fair and equitable cost for properties regardless of Assessed Valuation.
– Homeowners who say “they don’t want the water or need the water” are still benefiting by the project:
Added fire protection provided.
Access to the water main in the future if desired.
Increased value of the property with public water.
– NYS Office of Comptroller and USDA RD have indicated that the vast majority of new water districts in the past 20-30 years have been created using the “Benefit Basis Method”.
