Read the below report and it will give pause.

In addition the town of Wolfeboro added sewer capacity by adding to their existing spray irrigation fields what they called rapid infiltration basins near 19 mile brook. These basins very quickly failed causing nitrate levels to rise in the brook which leads to 19 mile bay.
Center Harbors sewage lagoons are also located above Lake Kanasatka.
It makes one wonder if there is leakage that is escaping notice. Blooms are being noticed in these specific areas. |
Thanks for pointing this out. The good part is, the system is monitored electronically and the release was caught in short order. Thus, no negative impacts. A failed septic could leach into the lake for an extended time before it is detected.
