NEW WINDSOR – The Orange County and West Point hazmat teams responded Wednesday morning to a report of a chlorine leak at the town’s water filtration plant on Riley Road.

The New Windsor Volunteer Ambulance Corps and Mobile Life Support Services also responded, along with town police and Vails Gate firefighters.

The leak was discovered at 6:10 a.m.

Police said the employee who noticed the leak was already outside when the first responders arrived. The road was closed and residents nearby were notified.

Hazmat workers found a small leak in a crossover pipe and fixed it.

New Windsor ambulance crew members treated the plant worker as a precaution.
