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.
