Channel 9: Concerns Over Phoenix Municipal Water

June 1, 2011 Contributor

NewsChannel 9 reports that residents of Phoenix are concerned about their municipal water supply:

Last month, the Oswego County Health Department found disease-causing organisms that may include bacteria, parasites, and viruses in two Village of Phoenix wells. But more recent tests by an independent company hired by the village show the main water supply to be clear of contamination. A back-up well did, however, have algae, which can be harmful.

The report indicates that some residents are unhappy that the village waited nearly a month to notify residents of the results of the tests.
