Hydrants Flushed to Clear Dirty Water in Hoosick Falls
Hoosick Falls residents were told hydrants would be flushed Monday night to clear dirty water likely from dead end streets. The Village Board also authorized daytime housing inspections next week to locate leaks in Carey Avenue and Church Street, with water shutoffs for noncompliant homes. Mayor Severson urged patience as previous digging yielded little, and monthly hydrant flushing may continue through summer pending Aug 3 review.
