Talk about a classic Upstate Catch 22, one of those situations where you can't seem to win no matter what direction you turn. The Daily Mail reports today that owners of Diedrich’s Mobile Home Park in Coxsackie have learned that their water wells are contaminated, and they are requesting to be hooked up to the village’s water supply. The village’s water treatment plant, however, is currently under an order of consent from the Department of Environmental Conservation, which means it is prohibited from having new users hooked up to the system. The silver lining, however, is that because the Diedrich’s issue is considered an emergency and a public health concern, an exception could be made enabling the mobile home park to connect to the system. The move hasreceived the thumb’s up from the Town of Coxsackie and the state Department of Health has also approved the move, “contingent on the submission of engineering plans”. “We received a letter from the town stating they are in favor of us linking those 21 units to the water system,” Mayor Mark Evans said, who added that management at Diedrich’s will be solely responsible for covering all the costs of the hook-up and for bringing its residents into the system. The mobile home park, located on Rte. 9W in the Town of Coxsackie, is already on the village’s sewer system, but until now has utilized its own water supply. But with that water deemed contaminated, they may have to join the village’s system. “Their water samples have had high levels of bacterial coliform,” Village Trustee Greg Backus said. “That’s a fecal type of contamination.”
