Mayoral updates on water issue

In response to calls at the recent village board meeting from members of the new residents’ water group on Facebook, Mayor Paul Maroun reports this week that Senator Dan Stec and Assemblyman Billy Jones have both been invited for a Tupper Lake meeting to delve more deeply into this issue. A response from the two state lawmakers is expected soon so a meeting date can be finalized.

The mayor also reports that the state Health Department officials the village are working with are hopeful to start treating the well water with a new phosphorous product soon to stem the iron coloring.
