Residents demand urgent action on contaminated water issues
Residents raised urgent concerns about water quality and infrastructure during a recent government meeting, highlighting issues related to the West Street area. One resident, Ron, presented photographic evidence of red staining on his driveway and in local water sources, suggesting a potential contamination issue linked to the water main system.

Ron reported that the discoloration has persisted for several weeks, following the flushing of fire hydrants in the vicinity. He expressed worry that the same water supply serving homes might be affected, raising questions about the safety of drinking water in the area. He also noted that a sump pump from a nearby office building consistently discharges similarly stained water, further indicating a possible systemic problem.

While acknowledging that utility services had responded to previous complaints, Ron emphasized the need for immediate attention to the West Street infrastructure, suggesting that ongoing projects may overlook critical repairs. His comments were echoed by other attendees, who noted that while development plans are in progress, the infrastructure concerns remain unresolved.

The meeting underscored the importance of addressing these water quality issues promptly, as residents seek assurance regarding the safety of their drinking water and the integrity of local infrastructure.
