The Old Plant was officially back in full operation with its first test sample taken May 28th. We have received no odor complaints in the month of June. Thank you again to everyone for keeping in touch.

The early lab results for June have been positive. We don ’ t have the full lab reports yet, but for the results we have, the samples for 5/28 & 6/5 were moving in the right direction and the samples for 6/11 & 6/18 have been in full compliance.

An alarm sounded at the WWTP on Thursday, 6/26. That alarm is triggered when the EQ Tank gets full to a high level, but not overflowing. An electrical breaker tripped, which turned off the pumps. We are working on a better alarm system so that we are notified directly when there ’ s any power disruption. We just don ’ t have it in place yet. Thank you to the neighbors for alerting us.

DEC will be coming to do a follow-up inspection in early July. Our next Public Information Session is scheduled for July 15th at 7pm at Village Hall.

Below is a picture of the WWTP discharge pipe on June 13, 2025.
