IONIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — The company that tested the water at an Ionia-area mobile home park says it’s brown because of high levels of iron, but that it’s safe to drink.
While conducting a twice-annual flushing of the system at Canterbury Estates last week, B&B Water and Wastewater Consultants found a broken isolation valve. Company president Joe Baxter explained that was preventing the water from circulating properly and contributing to the murky brown water coming from residents’ taps.
On Sunday, some residents at the mobile home park off Tuttle Road east of S. State Road told 24 Hour News 8 they were worried about drinking and bathing in the water because they didn’t know what was causing the problem.
