City Water Has Awful Taste (Date Posted October 2006)

Bill, I was looking at some of the back files on your website and ran across this letter. I been reading the comments on the problems with the water department that have been posted by your readers and thought how fitting this letter is three years later. Would you post it for me. Thanks, Jack Berlin

PS: Have you asked our city officials for a comment on the present problem with the water. They had a lot to say before the Primary Election why are they so quiet now?

In regards to the story in the September 14th edition of the NEWS, (Quality of Water Better), whoever made that statement must be drinking bottled water and not Gloucester City’s water. When I turn my water on it comes out brown, and you have to let it run for a little bit.

Gloucester City Resident Upset With Water Quality

\"Photo\" category City of Gloucester City

category Gloucester City

This photo of a aquarium test kit was sent in today to CNB by a Gloucester City resident. She writes, \”I just washed my face and felt a burning sensation on my skin. There was a strong smell of ammonia. I grabbed the test kit and filled it with water from my faucet. The gauge, calculated in parts per million or milligrams per liter, reads between 2.0 and 4.0\”.

Recently the Gloucester City Water Department released a statement to residents about the water being responsible for killing pond and aquarium fish. A number of people have posted comments recently complaining about the quality of the City\’s water.

It reads as follows,

Construction continues at the Water Department. To date 300 pilings have been set with 100 more left to do.

The Gloucester City Utilities Department has also made required modifications to the treatment and operations of the plant. These changes have had minimal impact on water quality or quantity, although interruptions were anticipated.

Recently on or about the third week of June to the first week of July, possible water problems have been reported concerning loss of aquarium and pond fish. Resulting from our investigations, we believe that the combination of chlorine and associated by-products had an acute affect on fish. This situation in no way suggests that there is a health concern to the residents of the City.

The Gloucester City Utility Department continues its promise to deliver proper water quality and quantity in accordance with all state and federal regulations. We welcome any questions or comments you may have and are sorry for any inconvenience this project may cause. Please feel free to call us at 456-0169. This is a 24 hour active line.
