Fishkill's water supply is in danger:
A few years ago. The Snook Rd/Merritt Park, Toll Brothers well was found to be in violation of NYS Heath Department limits. This well is located at the intersection of I-84 and Rt 9. While Fishkill has indicated it may sue the state for contamination, it was the Pagones Administration that drilled the well in a heavy salt zone. Fishkill was ordered to submit a Remedial plan to the state, and it has done nothing to remedy the situation. Remedies include continue blending water with Village of Fishkill water, build a 23? Million dollar filtration plant. (Bedford article) and the preferred plan is to: hook the Toll Brothers well into the Brinkerhoff Water District. Toll Brothers well into the Brinkerhoff Water District.
Change to: connect the Toll/Merritt Park Water District to the Brinkerhoff Water District. The result will be Brinkerhoff/Dutchess Park residents paying for the Pagones Administrations mistakes. While the Toll Brother residents will pay more for water, after they are already paying for water infrastructure, in the form of a Special District on their tax bills.
