Underground Clifton Park river could fuel county water system
Federal geologists test drill in Saratoga County for an underground water supply from Round Lake to Guilderland. Rexford residents hope the underground river enables a Rexford Water District to serve about 200 homes, though work started in 1974 and only about 50 homes are now hooked up. The project faces high rock, trucking in water, and funding hurdles.
