EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck will be speaking at a community forum in Hoosick Falls. She’ll also hear concerns and answer questions as the agency gathers information on the PFOA chemical contamination of the Rensselaer County community’s drinking water supply.

The event will be free and open to the public at the Hoosick Falls high school auditorium at 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, New York-based lawfirm Weitz & Luxenberg said it is investigating bringing a lawsuit on behalf of victims against the companies it believes is responsible for the contamination.
