An extensive report about the wastewater treatment system in Lake George Village has provided officials with an estimate of just how much it will cost to bring things up to speed. The next step in the upgrade is to secure the $15 million the Village will need to improve its wastewater treatment mechanisms and help maintain Lake George’s water quality.

According to The Post Star, the Village will be “seeking grants and low-interest loans from various state funding opportunities” to help cover the cost of replacing the existing wastewater treatment system with a more modern “enhanced nutrient removal process.” While much of the current infrastructure will stay intact, new components will be added to more effectively separate and treat the effluent.
