The city of Watervliet is asking the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to extend the time it has to file for a license for a hydroelectric project it wants to develop in Rome, Oneida County.

The city wants to build a hydro plant on an existing dam in Rome as a way to develop a new revenue stream for the city.

The city held a preliminary permit for the site that expired June 30. It is asking for another permit that would last three years.

Watervliet says it needs additional time to produce studies necessary for a long-term license for the project.
