Woodstock Aqueduct Water Update

“The approved potable water pipe that we are replacing the fire hoses with should be arriving today, courtesy of the National Guard who is graciously transporting it for us. In preparation for that, we reached out to the State yesterday for clarification on what tests we need to take to be able to lift the notices. They informed us we need clear bacteria tests, and increased chlorine levels present throughout the system. We take a chlorine residual everyday, but to prove the increased chlorine has reached the entire system, we will need to take chlorine residuals from multiple locations from all sides of the system. We can take the bacteria tests as soon as the new pipe is in place of the fire hoses, and are already slowly raising the chlorine levels in the system in preparation for the residual testing.

If all goes well, we hope to have the bacteria tests back by Wednesday. If those come back clear, the water will be considered potable (no boiling required).”
