LG Village to take new approach to sewer woes
SLEIGHT OF HAND
This Week ELIZABETHTOWN
IN WARRENSBURG
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Efforts to clean up the discharges of the Lake George sewer treatment plant moved forward Monday July 16, as the Lake George Village Board voted to hire Chazen Engineering for $88,000 to draft proposed upgrades for the plant. The board chose Chazen over two other firms that had submitted bids — AES Engineering and C.T. Male. The latter firm had proposed an upgrade project last year that was estimated to cost about $1.4 million, a quote that doubled in recent months. The project was designed to increase the treatment capacity and boost the purity of the treated effluent by removing excessive levels of ammonia from the plant’s outflows. Chazen was the low bidder of the three firms in the bids opened this month, despite a $24,200 “credit” cited by C.T. Male for prior engineering work on a downsized upgrade project that was estimated to cost

Extra parking available for circus patrons LAKE GEORGE — Additional parking for patrons of the Big Apple Circus has been made available by the village government, mayor Robert Blais announced this week. The parking was arranged because the circus is expected to attract thousands into the village over this next
week. The acclaimed Big Apple Circus features world-class aerialists and acrobats, and has prompted rave reviews nationally for its creativity and artistic spectacle. There is no on-site parking available at the Charles Wood Park site where
the Circus’ “Big Top” and ticket office are located. But two large lots owned by Fort William Henry and the Lake George Steamboat Co. will be available for public parking. The lots are adjacent to the circus grounds.
