quality drinking water to your consumers is sincerely appreciated ,” he concluded . “ Good luck at the Regionals !”
Berger said that there have been complaints all over the village about “ bad water quality ” with high manganese levels , but Brescia asked him to specify the area .
“ You are making a general statement so I ’ m asking for more specifics ,” Brescia said in response . “ If it ’ s in your section , I don ’ t think it ’ s true throughout the village , there are affected sections that we are working on , you would have to call the DOH for more specifics .” “ Manganese is becoming a problem all over New York ,” Nelson said .
Problematic manganese levels are three times the accepted amount as per the New York State Department of Health ( NYDOH ), according to Nelson . The NYDOH has encouraged the village to participate in a PILOT study for the Holt Well , one of Montgomery ’ s water sources , to monitor manganese levels .
As of a Drinking Water Quality Report for 2016 , the village is not in violation of any surplus of contaminants , as per New York State and Federal standards . However , Nelson said the Holt Well , has been experiencing problems with the
Town of Montgomery / Crawford
24 Hour Advance Notice Required manganese . This mineral , in excess , can be slightly harmful to older residents and babies drinking formula , according to Nelson . The mineral also causes a brown or black discoloration in drinking water .
Berger said that “ manganese levels have been recorded at least 10 times higher than the allowable amount set by the DOH , the water is undrinkable .”
Nelson confirmed that there was a case where test results came out 10 times the allowable amount , however the testing was done by a homeowner on Weaver Street , not a DOH representative .
“ What we ’ re looking at now is three times the allowable amount ,” said Nelson . “ Treating this issue is our number one priority .”
The PILOT study , engineered by Lanc and Tully , would run water through a “ mock filter ” to further examine water quality and how the village can purify the water further . These temporary filters will be in service while people are using their water .
“ The village is responsible for the costs of the study . If the water bills go up , that ’ s up to the board but our budget is for maintenance only , not improvements ,” Nelson said . “ This improvement could cost up to $ 300k or $ 400k . We have to price the filter and then build a structure for it .”
