Tivoli, NY, breaks ground on $23 million sewer system overhaul
(UI) — Construction has begun on a $23 million project to overhaul the Village of Tivoli’s sewer system, a critical modernization effort supported by state and federal funds.
The project, led by the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority, will replace the aging infrastructure from the 1930s with updated technology to ensure reliable wastewater service and protect local water quality.
“Ensuring access to clean, safe water for all New Yorkers is a top priority, and that’s why we continue to provide critical grants and financial resources to help communities modernize their water infrastructure,” Governor Kathy Hochul said.
The project includes installing new treatment equipment, a state-of-the-art disinfection system, alarms, and a generator for emergency situations. A key part of the upgrade is replacing the old pump station with a modern system featuring remote monitoring. Roughly 12,000 linear feet of sewer pipe will also be replaced or improved.
The $23 million project draws $8 million in grants and $15 million in interest-free financing through the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC). It’s part of New York’s larger commitment to water quality, leveraging federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding with state resources for critical infrastructure improvements across the state.
New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation President Maureen A. Coleman noted that the project will help ensure Tivoli meets the highest water quality standards, while Senator Charles Schumer emphasized that federal investments will keep these necessary upgrades affordable for communities like Tivoli.
