The Select Board approved a plan Tuesday, Aug. 17, to stop contaminants that residents suspect are flowing into Wilson Lake, possibly from a faulty septic tank. Town officials will take four steps: do a dye test in the suspected septic tank to track the path it flows; contact a third party to conduct testing at multiple locations and determine if there is raw sewage and if it has E. coli or coliform in it; plug up a residual creek that is flowing into the lake with hay to prevent contamination; and continue pumping a sewage tank regularly, until it is replaced.
