The Town of Lansing is located in the northern part of Tompkins County on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake.

The Cherry Road Sewer District was formed in 1988 and is a service area surrounding higher density residential areas along Cherry Road in the Town of Lansing, and the Warren Road Sewer District Extension was formed in 2009 and mainly services residences, businesses, business parks, and higher density residential areas along Warren Road in the Town of Lansing (the said sewer districts being herein referred to individually as a “District” or individually, severally, or jointly as the “Districts,” as the context thereof may admit or require). The Cherry Road Sewer District was formed under Town Law Article 12 and the Warren Road Sewer District Extension was formed under Town Law Article 12-A, and both are serviced by the Cayuga Heights Sewer Treatment Plant pursuant to an intermunicipal agreement with the Village of Cayuga Heights and the Village of Lansing for the transportation and treatment of sewer flows (the “IMA”). Both such Districts have the Town Board of the Town of Lansing acting as their District commissioners. The Town Board of the Town of Lansing thus has certain management and oversight responsibilities, including operation, maintenance, debt management, and the approval of all operations, agreements, and borrowing on behalf of the Districts.
