Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs), malfunctioning septic systems, and other pollutants are a huge risk to Cayuga Lake.
Cayuga Lake is currently at risk for more pollution due to the lack of reliable sewage treatment. Because of the pollutants, Cayuga County Water and Sewer Authority hopes to make the Cayuga Lake safe for, not only the tourists who want to visit our beautiful region, but for the residents as well.
The hope of Cayuga County Water and Sewer Authority is to be able to provide reliable sewage treatment to the Town of Ledyard and Town of Genoa.
This proposed project will include upgrades to the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the Village of Aurora and the installation of low pressure sewers along the shorelines of Ledyard and Genoa that will transport the collected sewage to the Aurora WWTP to be processed.
In addition to the cleanliness of the lake, this project will provide benefits to the Village of Aurora, the homeowners that live along the lake, as well as the regions that rely on the tourism revolving around Cayuga Lake, the agriculture, and the naturally scenic beauty that is a core element to the Finger Lakes Region.
Cayuga County Water and Sewer Authority has proposed the installation of 275 grinder pump stations, 8.9 miles of underground sewage force mains, two large intermediate pump stations, as well as upgrades to the Aurora WWTP.
The proposed upgrades to Aurora WWTP are a new treatment tank, upgraded pumps, upgraded blowers, and an upgraded electrical system.

Lead Service Line Replacement Program
Lead Service Line Replacement Program
New York State's Clean Water Infrastructure Act of 2017 amended Public Health Law to require the New York State Department of Health to assist in replacing lead service lines to provide clean and safe potable water.
CCWSA is proud to say that all of the water service lines owned by the Authority are lead free. However, that does not mean that your private lines are lead-free.
