HOOSICK FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Top Cuomo administration officials will face questions from lawmakers regarding the state's response to drinking water contamination in the village of Hoosick Falls.

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's health commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker, and Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos are slated to speak Tuesday at a state Senate hearing in the Rensselaer County village.

Also scheduled to testify are numerous residents who have accused the Cuomo administration of taking too long to warn people their water was contaminated with PFOA, a toxic chemical used in making Teflon and similar materials.

DEC is overseeing an investigation and cleanup that includes carbon filtration systems on contaminated public and private wells.
