Coming to you straight from the glaciers
KTLA has brought some disturbing fresh water news from down in
Gardena, CA:
Diane Morita took video of the black water coming from her tap and posted to it YouTube. The video also showed clear toilet water turning black as it was flushed.
She said it had happened several times before.
That can't be good.
In a telephone interview, Kate Nutting of the Golden State Water Company told KTLA that the water was safe to use, even for drinking.
“I understand the customer’s concern,” said Nutting, the general manager of the company’s south west district. “We also are concerned about delivering discolored water to a customer.”
Well, if it's safe to drink, then there's nothing to see here. Question asked and answered.
Nutting told KTLA that Morita was the only complaint they had received.
But several neighbors said they too had contacted the water company during the past several months with similar concerns.
“Light brown, gooey, gobby, spiderweb stuff,” is how resident Charlotte Lynch described the water running from her tap.
Another homeowner, Emy Sebastian, said hers had small stones in it and smelled like a sewer.
Somebody's not being completely upfront here. I wonder if it's the residents or the big company that just said its gooey-black-spiderweb-water is good enough to give to your child to drink?
