Fort Drum Sewer Line

Watertown to Fort Drum Sewer Line  

One of the Development Authority's first major projects was the construction of a wastewater transmission line connecting Fort Drum to the City of Watertown's wastewater treatment facility. Completed in 1987, the system includes the Authority-owned Warneck Pumping Station in the Town of Pamelia, which helps transport wastewater for treatment. The Army Sewer Line provides wastewater service to Fort Drum, and multiple districts in the Towns of Rutland, Champion, LeRay, Pamelia and the Village of Black River.

Route 3 Sewer Line

By the mid-1990s, aging sewer infrastructure in communities near Fort Drum required significant upgrades. Through its regional approach, the Development Authority brought five communities together to develop a shared wastewater solution that improved environmental protection while supporting future growth and economic development. Today, the system serves multiple districts in the Towns of Champion, LeRay, Rutland and Pamelia and the Village of Black River. Oversight is provided by the Route 3 Sewer Board, whose members represent the participating municipalities.
