Water And Sewer District Talks, In The Hornell Area

Here is an update on the Belle Haven water situation.  Belle Haven is a small hamlet between Hornellsville and Canisteo.  Belle Haven has a few dozen people living there.  They currently get their water from the Village of Canisteo.  There are talks going on to either (A) have Hornellsville annex Belle Haven or (B) to set up a water district for Belle Haven, a water district involving Hornellsville and the Village of Canisteo.  The Canisteo Town Board does not seem interested in getting into that water district.   Also, there have been separate talks going on, between Hornell and the Hornellsville Town Board to get a sewer district going, bteween Hornell, North Hornell and other parts of Hornellsville.  That’s in the early planning phase, and plans are not definite for a sewer district yet.
