Arthur Cusano is reporting in the Register Star the Greenport Town Board Wed., May 6, adopted a local law prohibiting the drilling or use of wells in the town's water district. The measure exempts wells used in heating and cooling systems, as well as all wells already in use. The law is mainly intended to protect the water district from contamination. Joseph Morreale, an executive with Hudson Seafood Company, was present at the meeting and took exception to the law. He said the company would challenge it. Hudson Seafood is a fish farm located at the former Local Ocean site on Route 9. Town engineer Ray Jurkowski said a lot of thought went into the law, including his input and research into other communities that have similar laws. Read the full story in the Register Star.
