JOHNSTOWN - Large amounts of foam are mysteriously showing up at the Gloversville-Johnstown Wastewater Treatment Facility and plant operators can't pinpoint its origin.

Wastewater Engineer Tyler Masick reported to the Gloversville-Johnstown Joint Sewer Board recently that a "significant amount of foam" has come to the sewage treatment plant on Union Avenue the past one-to-two months.

"We're trying to reach out to industries to see if there has been any changes in the processes," he said.

Masick said the facility has called all its business users, but still doesn't have an answer. In fact, he said the plant has had only three responses to its inquiries. Feedback came from Nathan Littauer Hospital, National Grid and Fage USA.
