On Feb. 23, Altamont was notified that a Feb. 17 sample from its Brandle Road wellsite contained 0.59 milligrams of manganese per liter; the maximum contaminant level allowed by the federal Environmental Protection Agency is 0.3 milligrams per liter. The village then resampled on March 8 and found levels were below the maximum level, at 0.28 milligrams per liter.

Guilderland residents, at a public hearing on May 17, will have a chance to weigh in on an updated local law that would codify the current practice of notifying residents within 500 feet or 750 feet of a proposed building project.

Guilderland, with rates locked in till the end of the year, is currently paying 5.6 cents per kilowatt hour. The current rate is about twice that.

Wesley Hale, who uses medical marijuana to ease his pain, told the Guilderland Town Board on Tuesday, “You could go out in Guilderland in the black market and you could get marijuana.” But, he said, you wouldn’t know if it was safe — it could be laced with fentanyl.
