An upgraded water interconnect is closer to becoming a reality after a meeting of officials from both the village of Fredonia and City of Dunkirk on Wednesday. The project would involve a 20-inch water line that would run from the city's water tank on Willowbrook Avenue in Dunkirk connect with the existing 24-inch line on Water Street in Fredonia. On Monday, Fredonia Mayor Steve Keefe says the project would nearly triple of flow of water between both communities when its needed.

August Maas of Hill Engineering Inc. presented a plan for the interconnect during the meeting held in Fredonia. According to the Observer, officials from both communities seemed receptive to the project. A revised plan for a North County Water Project includes an interconnect. Keefe says it could be an "easy lift" should it become part of the final plans.
