Flint Creek

The Town of Phelps has been monitoring the situation in Gorham since receiving reports of water and foam runoff going into Flint Creek Saturday night.
This morning I spoke with Town of Gorham Supervisor Dale Stell who said the NYS DEC has contained the foam used to extinguish the fire but water in the creek is still flowing north.
We are recommending that residents limit exposure to water in Flint Creek until cleanup efforts are complete in Gorham. There has not been any official recommendation from NYS DEC but they are monitoring water upstream as this event continues to unfold.
We are extremely grateful to all first responders who took part in firefighting efforts at the scene, those who stood by covering other districts and the se who handled other calls for service. Special thanks to our 911 Dispatchers for all you do.
