Joint meeting on the Master Plan
-2-
December 14, 1966
The memorandum on Fire fighting facilities was reviewed. No
comments were offered on this.
At this point the meeting was turned over to Mr. Whitlock, who
continued his report on the water study. His previous reports were
reviewed briefly. These showed that we are uSing about 1,600,000
gallons of water on an average day, PLUS, irrigation water, the
5000 plus or minus consumers on the Greenport Water System use about
80 gallons per person per day on an average day. The maximum days
recorded were well over 1,200,000 gallons on the system. An average
day will use 5,500,000 gallons and more for irrigation. This shows
a use ratio of about five to one for irrigation. Possibly 35 to 40
per cent of rain fall will reach the underground water reservoir
eventually by absorption, recharge basins and natural wet lands. t
Most of our underground reservoir capacity is in the central and ~~~R~rn
part of the Town. It is expected water use will increase to 100 gallons
per person per day in the near future. The maximum permanent population
we can accommodate, with water distribution mains and well fields
properly laid out, supplying water from the "center reservoir" to the
"onter fringe" areas, would be 35,000 to 40,000 people. There is now
a very real danger of permanent damage to ground water from sewage
polution and salt water intrusion in the "outer fringe" areas, along
shore lines.
Mr. Whitlock recommended dyking off heads of creeks; DON'T
allow dredging of channels or basins in up land; build all marine
facilities out in existing saltwater bodies; retain all drainage runDff
in catahbasins, recharge basins, natural fresh water ponds, etc., DON'T
allow any to runoff in salt creeks, etc. Also sewerage treated in present
and future plants be pumped back into ground, not ouerboard as now;
any large volume wells be located "Inland" , not mear salt: water, or
close to each other.
The use of water should be ccontrolled locally, by license or
permit with records properly kept. Planning for this should start now.
q Recomme~~ations for water distribution should be
study and inYV~tYnear futurel
done as a separate
There was discussion on Zoning for larger lots, expansion and
operation of the Village water system, absorption of "runoff~ recharge
basins, etc. and possibility of Town Ordinance controlling irrigation
and other "large volume wells", etc.

Joint Meeting on the Master Plan

December 14, 1966
It was agreed that "cluster development" would probably be good
for this town if it could be done with a water s:tstem and "open area"
program.
The minutes of the last meeting were approved as mailed out.
The next joint meeting on the Master Plan will be held at 7:30
P.M., Wednesday, January 11, 1967, at the Office of the Supervisor,
16 South street, Greenport, New York.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 P.M.
