AMENIA — The status of work to test for groundwater contaminants was discussed at the regular meeting of the Wastewater Committee on Thursday, March 6.

The committee agreed to continue the contract for sampling being done by the Housatonic Valley Association, seeking to establish an “impaired” status to qualify for grant funding. Grant funding would be needed to support a wastewater project to provide septic service in the town’s wastewater district.

“Twelve sites have been done five times,” committee chairman Charlie Miller reported, updating progress on meeting the requirement of eight testing sessions over two years. Three more testing sessions are needed.

Previous sampling sessions occurred between August and November in 2023, and April and May in 2024. Looking ahead, the committee projected possible testing in May to June of this year.

Committee member Shannon Roback has been assisting the committee with information about meeting the conditions of the detailed testing requirements.
