The year 2012 was the year that North Salem finally saw the completion of Peach Lake’s new sewage system. Nearly 500 Peach Lake residences suffered septic problems for a number of years before a coalition of town officials and local residents were able to raise funds and government support for the construction of a sewage treatment plant to serve those properties.

The project was completed in the spring, but the official ribbon-cutting took place in October, just two days before the advent of Hurricane Sandy.
