Reservoir water system resiliency upgrades

Peekskill

Summary

The solar project review surfaced needed upgrades to the city's aging reservoir infrastructure — inoperable valves, a fragile 70-year-old pipeline, and no real backup storage. Some improvements would benefit the city even without the solar project, raising the question of who pays.

Impact analysis

Preliminary cost estimates exist but are unrefined; the commission is weighing whether the city should share costs for upgrades that benefit it independently.

All city water customers gain system flexibility and emergency supply capacity if the upgrades are built.
