A Call to the Public was made with the following response: Larry McColl - I am a Northshore resident and our development has been having problems with water this past summer. Water samples were provided. The water is slimy and brown in color. We don't know what it is doing to our health. The water has an odor and ruins our in-home filtration systems. McCririe - I have contacted the water department and asked them to review your situation. I feel that it has something to do with the Northshore sand filter in the well house. We will find out what is going on and find a solution and then I will contact Mr. McColl to let him know the status of your complaint.
