Water Department reports wells operational; mayor requests latest 1,4‑dioxane readings
Summary
Water Department said Well 1‑3 are fully operational, Plant 2 Well 2‑2 is manually operational, SCADA nearing completion, and Well 2‑3 will return to service pending Nassau County Health Department approval; Mayor Ekstrand requested the latest 1,4‑dioxane readings in all wells.
Village staff told the board that Well 1‑3 are fully operational and Plant 2 Well 2‑2 is being run manually to fill tanks and can be placed into the system if necessary. The SCADA system is nearing completion, and a consultant, John Mirando, will assist with specifications if the village pursues replacement of the ground storage tank. Minutes say a grant request was submitted to Rep. Suozzi to cover potential tank costs but that there is no status update on that request.
Minutes also record that Philip Ross Industries reported Well 2‑3 will be back in operation "ASAP" but requires Nassau County Health Department approval. Mayor Ralph Ekstrand asked for the latest readings of 1,4‑dioxane in all wells, indicating ongoing attention to contaminant monitoring. Staff reported a repaired water-main break at 75 Merritts Road and lead-and-copper sampling plans.
