Resident concerns with a leaky 327,000-gallon water tank in Unionville are continuing, despite
some recent repairs.
The Orange County Health Department issued the village a violation notice in April for failing to maintain the tank at fines of up to $2,000 a day if not fixed.
Unionville Mayor Martin Howard says problems have been corrected and additional service is expected later this month.
Some people in the area, however, say they hope the county keeps watch on the tank.
“Who knows how long those repairs will hold. Like in the past, they used a black tar like rubber material that didn’t hold up against the water pressure,” says resident Anna DiVito.
News 12 reached out to the county Health Department for more information and is awaiting response.
