SARANAC LAKE — The state Health Department has cited the village for having too much lead in its drinking water. DOH Public Health Engineer Susan Kennedy, in a July 17 letter to village Manger John Sweeney, said the village is in violation for exceeding the “action level for lead” based on samples conducted earlier this year. The letter was included in the agenda packet for Monday’s village board meeting. When water stands in lead pipes or plumbing systems containing lead for several hours or more, the lead may dissolve in drinking water.
