A Daily Freeman article.
Due to booming business during a summer that has brought throngs of
thirsty visitors, the Phoenicia Water District has started a project to
reclaim precious spring water for the hamlet to make sure there’s enough
to go around.
Water Commissioner Rick Ricciardella said Monday work will soon
begin on carving a road up the mountain across the street from the
district filtration plant to grant access to the half dozen natural
springs that have supplied water to the hamlet for the past 100 years.
After a century of thunderstorms, spring thaws and summer
droughts, erosion has gradually restricted the flow from those springs
to reservoirs built to hold the supply, he said.
