Follow-Up: Water Discoloration in the City of Glens Falls

As another follow up to “Water Discoloration Issues” first experienced in the City of Glens Falls during the week of July 24:

Per Bill Norton, Superintendent of the Water and Sewer Department: “Employees at the City of Glens Falls Water Filtration Plant (WFP) continue to monitor and follow up with a few city residents who have made complaints regarding their water quality. While there have been no additional calls or complaints over the last five days, the WFP continues to monitor the situation since the exact cause of these issues has still yet to be determined.”

As you may recall, a couple of weeks ago, the Glens Falls Water Distribution System experienced sporadic very high flow demands for extended periods of time. These flows were “spiking” in nature, and it was believed to be caused by a very high demand and not a break within the water distribution system.

These sporadic demands greatly increased the turbidity (color and cloudiness issues) in certain portions of the Glens Falls Water Distribution System.

If you have any questions or believe you’re experiencing cloudiness in your water, you are asked to contact the Glens Falls Water Filtration Plant at 518-312-4571.
