This morning I was made aware of the fact that Sweet Sue's in Phoenicia has been closed due to septic problems.
Some time on Friday afternoon officials of the Ulster County Health department visited the restaurant and ordered it closed immediately. It seems that Sweet Sue's septic system had failed in latest high water event. It is unclear how long the restaurant is going to remain closed.
The Watershed Post has a more in-depth article about the problem. Those of you who would like to know more can follow this link:

Sweet Sue's is an important part of the community and I hope that the problem gets resolved quickly and she will re-open soon.
