Catskill's long-incubating sewer project for Leeds and Jefferson Heights will be visible in mid-August as construction crews move equipment into place, officials from Delaware Engineering said at the Aug. 2 Catskill Town Board meeting. The regular town meeting included a "Leeds Jefferson Heights Sewer District Informational Meeting," explaining construction began a few weeks ago on a pump station. Mary Beth Bianconi and Michael Burdis of Delaware Engineering explained that in mid-August, construction on the eight-mile, $12.5 million project will begin in Jefferson Heights near the medical center, and move to Leeds slowly over 12 months, with a possible winter break delaying completion. The construction will only be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and all homeowners along the route must hook up to the new system. Michael Burdis of Delaware Engineering warned residents that as they hook up to the new system they should only use reputable contractors, and watch out for scams.
