Phantom Pumper mystery may be solved in Hoosick Falls
Hoosick Falls officials announced a possible solution to the Carey Lane water leakage and Phantom Pumper mystery after John Buckley of Troy reviewed records with local officials. Buckley noted increased Dodge Industries water use since 1969, with a 4 inch line drawing water through the system creating noises and sediment. If no other factor is found by May 13 a state of emergency may be declared to test a civil defense pipeline and potentially replace the 4 inch line with an 8 or 10 inch main.
