During a recent Carbondale city council meeting, concerns were raised regarding the safety of the city’s water supply, which has reportedly deteriorated since an incident on July 19. A resident urged the council to investigate the water's safety, emphasizing its importance for both citizens and visitors.

In addition to water safety, the resident expressed worries about the security of public spaces, specifically City Hall and the Civic Center. They described experiencing what they termed \"spiritual attacks\" while engaging in activities at these locations, raising alarms about the overall safety of these civic spaces. The resident's comments highlighted a need for the council to address these concerns to ensure a secure environment for all community members.

Following public comments, council members shifted to general announcements. Councilman Doherty acknowledged the upcoming Labor Day holiday, expressing gratitude for the hard work of city employees. Additionally, Councilman Boats brought attention to a stalled initiative regarding housing ordinances, noting a lack of applications for a committee formed to address this issue. He suggested that the council may need to reconsider their approach to move forward effectively.

The meeting underscored ongoing community concerns about public safety and the need for proactive measures by the city council to address these issues.
