A resident who brought a removed faucet described blue-green residue as copper and said their family has consumed the water for more than 20 years, raising health concerns and blaming the town for removing caustic soda in the late 1990s. The speaker cited a 1998 letter from Peter Kent and a 2006 corrosion study that identified pitting and local attack at GE Circle, and said the town saved money in 1998 but has since incurred repeated main repairs. The speaker called for prompt remediation and noted money was set aside in last year’s budget for plant changes.
