Elevated levels of 1,4-dioxane, a suspected carcinogen, have been detected in the village’s wells, prompting Mayor Waylyn Hobbs, Jr. to seek federal assistance for a $55 million water treatment project. The village board supports securing a $50 million bond, but federal aid is crucial for timely implementation. As Hempstead navigates this challenge, the episode highlights the broader issue of aging infrastructure and the need for robust environmental management to ensure safe drinking water nationwide.Support the showConnect with Jessica Hunt and the rest of the team at Environment+Energy Leader - LinkedIn l Twitter l Facebook l Instagram l YouTube l BlueSky Do you have an idea for an episode?
