The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has granted the Village of Kiryas Joel a permit that will allow the withdrawal of 612,000 gallons of water per day from the Mountainville Well #1 post and transported it to their Village.

We believe that DEC has granted this permit based on insufficient evaluations of the environmental and ecological impact the withdrawal of this magnitude will have on our residential and town wells, on the emergency water supplies, our firefighting capacity, our local wildlife and future growth of the community.
