Water Phosphate Study Kicks Off In Manchester
A six week local test begins to assess how high phosphate detergents affect water quality. John West leads Manchester sewage efforts as influent samples are collected, preserved, and sent to the state lab. Phase one runs five days ending May 22 with housewives urged to use low phosphate detergents in phase two from June 1 to 5. Detergents contribute half the phosphate in water, conservationists say, affecting plant growth and oxygen levels in the Battenkill River. AIM will distribute a detergent phosphate guide at schools and stores, and results from each phase will be reported to residents.
