Wilton finds no trace of sewage leaking into Wilson Lake

FRANKLIN JOURNAL • September 9, 2021

Independent testing has shown that sewage is not flowing into Wilson Lake, according to Water and Wastewater Superintendent Heinz Grossman. He said that tests found no human fecal matter was present in the samples, only animal fecal matter, thus disproving accusations that sewage from a septic tank was leaking into the lake. Concerns were first raised at the select board’s Aug. 17 meeting about a faulty septic tank that could be the source of a sewage leak into Wilson Lake.
