On Tuesday, the town of New Windsor sued the federal government, the state of New York, chemical manufacturing companies, and myriad other defendants for allegedly tainting its drinking water with per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The complaint contended that PFAS-containing aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) were used in training exercises and to extinguish fires at Stewart International Airport (SIA) and a nearby Air Force base. From there, the lingering chemicals reportedly seeped into the soil and groundwater, contaminating the townâs drinking water supply.
The complaint explained that New Windsor, located in Orange County, New York, supplies water for its 30,000 residents. The filing grouped the defendants into three classes, claiming that the federal government, in concert with the 3M Company, developed PFAS in the mid-1960s.

“The defendants sometime prior to June 3, 2020, were engaged in the business of flushing a fire hydrant and/or flushing water lines and/or repairing water lines and/or installing water lines outside the residence owned and occupied by the plaintiffs,” the suit states.
After three years sitting empty, the Columbia Market House will be re-opening next month.
The historic market, which dates back to 1869, will re-open on Saturday, May 29 featuring 19 local vendors and a full-service restaurant, Gypsy Kitchen. We re bringing life back to this building for the community, market manager Kelsey Miller said.
Miller, who doubles as the healthy communities program manager at CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health, will oversee daily operations at the market. CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health and the Columbia Borough have partnered together to breathe new life into the historic site.
Columbia Borough manager Mark Stivers said the market had been vacant since 2017. The current project began picking up steam in summer 2019 and now the grand opening will market the completion of the first phase of the near $3 million project, he said. The second phase will include additional parking for the market house and visitors to downtown Columbia, Stivers said.
