Guest warns of high pollution reading in Little NW Creek and sparse hydrants in Northwest Woods
Summary
Guest Meg Gibson told the committee there are 'hardly any fire hydrants' in Northwest Woods and that Little NW Creek pollution tested at 218 (normal is 10); members suggested recent heavy rain may have caused runoff.
At the meeting, guest Meg Gibson raised safety and environmental concerns in Northwest Woods, saying there are "hardly any fire hydrants" in the neighborhood and reporting that a test of Little NW Creek returned a pollution reading of 218, compared with a stated normal level of 10. Gibson located the reading on the west side of Barcelona Neck near the Sag Harbor golf course.
Several committee members suggested the elevated reading could be caused by runoff after heavy rain, according to the meeting record. The minutes do not identify who performed the water test, the pollutant measured, or whether follow-up sampling is planned; the committee did not record a formal directive to staff in the minutes.
