Feds install water filtration system for Newburgh

Apr 04, 2019 3:15 pm
MidHudsonNews [dot] com is reporting the Army Corps of Engineers will install a $2.4 million filtration system to prevent further contamination of the city of Newburgh’s water from the Stewart Air National Guard Base. The Rapid Response Contract will prevent outflow from Recreation Pond into the water supply during storm events. Mayor Torrance Harvey said this is “a big win” for Newburgh. “Two-point-four-million dollars, federal funding for a water filtration system; that’s awesome, because that also adds to the $25 million carbon granulated system the state built already at our water plant…” The hazardous chemicals PFOS and PFOA originated from the use of firefighting foam at the guard base and the contamination continues to pollute streams being fed from Recreation Pond on airport property.
