NYS Canal Corporation testing for seepage in Glens Falls Feeder Canal

GLENS FALLS — The New York State Canal Corporation announced today that they are undergoing efforts to identify potential areas of seepage in the Glens Falls Feeder Canal.

The Canal Corporation will be using a non-toxic dye to determine where seepage from the Feeder Canal may be entering basements in buildings on the Finch Paper property in the city, according to a press release from the New York Power Authority. 

Dye testing may continue through the next week depending on the results of the investigation, the release states, noting the dye is non-harmful to individuals, animals, and the environment.

Based on the results of the testing, the Canal Corporation will undertake isolated repairs of the Feeder Canal.
