CAPITAL REGION — For more than a century, the McMillan Well Transmission System supplied water to Delanson.

Lately, the system allowed a necessary redundancy of service to the small village with a population of approximately 385 people. But a series of severe thunderstorms last month caused two walls of the system’s well to collapse, leaving the village with a repair bill in excess of $300,000 and lacking a backup water supply.

“We don’t have a plan yet,” said Mayor Sally Burns Monday.

Delanson is among many Capital Region municipalities hoping another look from state and federal officials this week will lead to some emergency aid for repairing storm damage. Damage assessment teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will tour Rensselaer and Schenectady counties Wednesday, after state officials determined a threshold of storm damage for federal funding has been reached across a nine-county region.

Schenectady County Emergency Management Director William VanHoesen said Delanson can sustain itself on the so-called lower reservoir. However, he said the silt-choked connection to the upper reservoir is needed to fulfill state requirements for the village’s water system.

“They can’t ignore it,” he said. “They have to do something.”

Without state or federal funding, VanHoesen said, he doubts the village can afford the repairs. He said the transmission system is among roughly $3.8 million in damage reported throughout Schenectady County, with the latest round of storms last week exacerbating some of the conditions caused by a late-July deluge.

“These storms just sat overtop of us and kept on coming and coming,” he said Monday. “It was like an everyday event.”

The state Emergency Management Office had initially tallied about $15 million in damage that could be attributed to the storms. Spokesman Dennis Michalski said the figure was more than $8 million short of what was needed to trigger a federal response.

“We fell short of the threshold of $23.5 million,” he said.

Then last week, flooding caused the Quakenderry Creek to overflow, inundating the downtown area of the city of Rensselaer in Rensselaer County. City officials later assessed the damage at about $21.7 million.

As a result, Michalski said SEMO believes the total state damage from the two storm events now crosses the threshold. He said federal officials will now investigate damage in a nine-county area in upstate, including Columbia, Delaware, Montgomery and Schoharie counties.

Damage in Schenectady County was focused on the western region, but extends to nearly all municipalities. VanHosen said Wolf Hollow Road in Glenville and many of the county roads in Duanesburg have sustained more damage during the latest round of storms.

Old County Route 30 between Duanesburg and Esperance in Schoharie County has been closed since the first round of storms. Debris choked a large culvert beneath the road, causing a small creek to swell and eat away a large portion of the road.

VanHoesen said county Public Works crews had stabilized the footings of a bridge carrying Muselbeck Road in Pattersonville and a temporary fix was also in place for Crawford Road. However, he said both areas required more permanent repairs that could prove costly.

“The local municipalities and the county, budget-wise, would be in trouble,” he said.
