Village addresses high water bills, approves leak credit policy BY RIKKI MASSAND At its September meeting, the Garden City Board of Trustees approved a policy to help residents with high water bills caused by plumbing leaks. Superintendent of Water and Sewer Operations Stanley Carey explained the new policy, which covers
leak-related billing issues from this year. He emphasized that it does not apply to residents who misuse underground sprinklers, as the policy outlines specific criteria for eligibility. “Most water suppliers have a leak credit policy for their residents. Right now we have no provision, and we’d have to come to the Board for
leak credits each time someone comes forward with a hardship,” he said. To qualify for a credit, customers must provide a letter from their plumber along with a paid receipt for the repair.

On Monday, September 23, the Village of Garden City Board of Trustees held a work session with consulting firm Brandstetter Carroll Inc. (BCI), the Garden City Recreation Commission, and the St. Paul’s Steering Committee. The session focused on the results of a Recreation and Parks Department survey provided to residents months ago. So far, two phases of the Garden City Recreation and Parks Master Plan have been completed: Evaluation and Engagement. The September 23 meeting marked a progress update, with the next phase, “Envisioning,” set to begin. BCI’s Vice President, Patrick D.

Solutions for Senior Center flooring issue discussed BY RIKKI MASSAND The Village of Garden City is addressing long-standing flooring issues at the Garden City Senior Center on Golf Club Lane. During the September 19th Trustees’ meeting, Trustee Vinny Muldoon reported on his recent site visit with Superintendent of Recreation and Parks Paul Blake and Public Works Superintendent John Borroni. The key concern is the uneven floor, posing a tripping hazard due to moisture buildup from the crawl space below. Blake explained the problem stems from a lack of proper dehumidification and insufficient ventilation. Energy Mechanical, the village’s HVAC contractor, will install two large dehumidifiers under the crawl space to resolve this. Flooring repairs are also planned, focusing on three areas near the walls where the floor has started to lift. See page 40
