The new 1.8-mile line and two new pumping stations will provide sewer service to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, and should be completed within the next three to four months. Along with Bethel Woods, the line will be available to businesses and some residents along the Route 17B corridor. Bethel supervisor Dan Sturm said one of the purposes of the extension is to promote commercial development along the corridor and help to preserve natural resources in other parts of the town.
