This press release just came in from DPW Director Sandy Shields:
The Town has been receiving many calls regarding the safety of the town’s drinking water in light of the recent flooding.
THE QUALITY OF THE TOWN’S DRINKING WATER HAS IN NO WAY BEEN COMPROMISED BY THE FLOOD.
The tap water is completely safe for drinking. Currently water is being supplied to the town from the Mill Brook well field which is in the northeast section of town and was not impacted by the flooding.
The Green River dam suffered extensive damage in the flood. That water supply annually supplies approximately 25% of the town’s drinking water. Barring a severe drought, the two other water sources, the Leyden Glen reservoir and the well field will be able to meet the town’s supply needs until the dam is repaired.
