Council notes $6,000 private‑well testing grant and update on Kavala Park remediation
Summary
Lambertville received a $6,000 Department of Health grant for a private well‑testing program with West Amwell; staff said LSRPs expect to submit Kavala Park materials to DEP by end of November and will update residents.
Council members told residents the city received a $6,000 state Department of Health grant to support private well testing coordinated with West Amwell. Staff said residents who paid for pre‑existing tests may be eligible for reimbursement through a spill fund and that the city is compiling a list of households that still use wells for targeted outreach.
Separately, the mayor reported that licensed site remediation professionals (LSRPs) are on track to submit required documentation to the Department of Environmental Protection by the end of November for Kavala Park. The mayor said staff will continue to coordinate with the DEP and keep the public informed about the investigation and remediation timeline.
Residents also raised playground safety and access questions about a new school playground on York Street; the mayor said the playground is private property, that a construction code violation had been issued, and that the building official’s actions will be reported to the commenter by email.
