Farmingdale water update: wells operational, Well 2‑3 awaiting county health approval; brown‑water complaint to be investigated
Summary
The board heard updates that Well 1‑3 is fully operational and Well 2‑2 is manually online; Philip Ross Industries reported Well 2‑3 will be back in operation pending Nassau County Health Department approval, and the Water Department will investigate a resident's brown‑water complaint at 2 Yoakum Street.
Village water officials told trustees that Well 1‑3 is fully operational and that Plant 2 Well 2‑2 is manually operational and being used to fill tanks, with the ability to place it into the system if needed. The SCADA system is said to be nearing completion and staff completed an evaluation of a ground‑tank roof and structure; next steps for repairs or replacement are being developed.
Philip Ross Industries reported that Well 2‑3 will be returned to service "ASAP" but noted Nassau County Health Department approval is required before it can resume normal operation. Separately, a resident at 2 Yoakum Street reported persistent brown water; the board directed the Water Department to investigate and make recommendations to resolve the problem.
