Representatives from Eries Engineering reported that recent environmental tests indicated decreasing levels of contaminants, all falling below concerning limits. This update was met with questions from attendees regarding the interpretation of the data, which was clarified through communication with state officials.
The meeting also addressed the Lowell Water Department's consumer confidence report, highlighting the good quality of water supplied to residents.
Additionally, concerns were raised regarding the Pateka Memorial School, which had previously been delayed in opening due to mold issues.
