POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF INACTION: Permits to expand businesses will continue to be denied by the State of New York Department of Health because there is not sufficent space in the hamlet area to allow for expansion of septic systems, due to close proximity of water supplies. Residents may be at risk of disease from drinking water from contaminated wells due to septic systems that are too close to wells and of unsatisfactory condition. Treatment of these contaminated wells such as filtering and disinfecting the water to remove or destroy microbiological contaminants is not practical or economical for most residents leaving no alternatives. Seventh, Sixth, Fifth and Fourth Lakes are gradually being contaminated with Fourth Lake already showing evidence of deteriorating water quality putting swimmers at health risk.
