It was a perfect storm in public health terms. The progressive deterioration of the national water supply infrastructure taken over by the central government in recent years in an apparent bid to capture a principal source of revenue for local governments combined with the closure of hospitals in late 2008 due to chronic underfunding resulting in walkouts by most staff has had tragic consequences.

Lawler said the communities should receive a full-time paid water supply through the Troy pipeline because the planned testing won?t be timely enough to turn off the river water intakes if a problem is found. ?We cannot pay for water when they have good water? Skopeck responded. In a related development the Saratoga County Water Authority ? which is chaired by Lawler ? decided Wednesday to look at the feasibility of extending its water system to the area. The county system now under construction is currently planned to stop at the Luther Forest Technology Campus on the Malta-Stillwater town line.
