The town of Lyndon has released its annual water quality report. The only change in the town's water supply is a minor increase in turbidity. Turbidity is a measure of how clear the water is based on the amount of suspended particles in the water. There are a number of sources that can cause turbidity, ranging from storm water runoff to bottom-feeding fish which stir up the sediment. Turbidity is not hazardous to human health.
Municipal Administrator Dan Hill says that the report is a compilation of a series of water quality tests required by the state. Hill also said that the turbidity test hadn't been done in a few years because of low counts in the past.
Residents can pick up a copy of the report from themselves at the Lyndonville Municipal Building.
