Findley Lake Public

Sewer District

Project Update and

Sewer Easement Informational Meeting


Date/Time:   Saturday, May 16, 2026 at 9:00 AM

 

Location:     Mina-Findley Lake Community Center

2883 North Rd, Findley Lake, NY 14736

 

Description:  The Town of Mina will hold a public informational meeting to update the public on the project status and projected timeline as well as discuss details regarding sewer easements and individual property impacts for the upcoming sanitary sewer project. All property owners within the district or those interested in being connected to the sewer system are encouraged to attend.

 

The informational meeting will include a presentation by the design engineers about what an easement is, why they are necessary for this project, and how they will impact your property. Following the presentation, the engineers will be available to answer any questions you have regarding the design and impacts the project could have on your individual property.

 

Additionally, a Notary Public will be available at the meeting so you can execute your easement agreement if desired. Easement agreements are intended to be mailed out prior to the meeting. Copies will also be available at the meeting.
