The improvements proposed for said District consist of the construction of a water distribution system, including original equipment, machinery, appara- tus, appurtenances, and incidental improvements and expenses in connection therewith, which are the improvements as originally proposed. After all necessary proceedings were duly had and taken in accordance with the provisions of the Town Law, the Town Board of the Town of Poestenkill, Rensselaer County, New Yotk, has heretofore duly established Water District No. 2 (the "Water District") at a maximum estimated cost of $5,550,000. It now appears that such maximum estimated cost for the establishment thereof must be increased by an additional $670,418 to a new maximum esti- mated cost of $6,220,418 pursuant to Section 209-h of the Town Law.

The method of financing the cost of said improvements shall be by the issuance of serial bonds of said Town maturing in annual installments over a period not exceeding forty (40) years, such bonds to be payable from assessments levied upon and collected from the several lots and parcels of land deemed benefitted by said improvements in the manner provided by law, and in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on said bonds as the same become due, but if not paid from such source, all the taxable real property in said Town shall be subject to the levy of ad valorem taxes without limitation as to rate or amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on said bonds as the same shall become due.

The estimated cost of hook-up fees to the typical property in the Water District remains $0.00 and the estimated cost of the Water District to the typical property therein, being a one or two family home, has heretofore been described to be $676.00 in the first year in which operation, maintenance, debt service and other charges and expenses are to be paid and it is now anticipated that such estimated cost shall be $953.00.
