TUPPER LAKE - The fan was switched on and smoke blown through a manhole on state Route 3 started shooting from roof vents on nearby houses, leaking from manhole covers down the street and rising from the ground in a front yard.

The village water department spent the past two days smoking out leaks, illegal connections and other sources of water inflow in its sewer lines by filling the system with a non-toxic, odorless “liquid smoke” and identifying areas where rainwater and groundwater fill the system.

Sparsely populated, low-income communities across the country suffer from polluted water—an injustice expected to worsen under Trump.

The New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYS EFC) is pleased to announce the availability of up to $1 million in grant funding to municipalities to help pay for the planning and development of eligible drinking water infrastructure projects that protect public health by removing or otherwise addressing emerging contaminants such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)

Unbelievable images out of South Carolina show how wipes can wreak havoc on a sewer system.
