Bonnie Landers lives on Anderson Drive on the west side and has experienced pinhole leaks in copper pipes and her family had to stop using their dishwasher because when she uses it now it has a slimy white coating.
She tells CHSJ News she is grateful for clean drinking water but wishes she could have been warned about what to expect.
“If they had given us ample time to plan for these changes,” Landers says “that would been much more beneficial than the surprise and now the fall out of it.”

Cari-Ann Hachey lives in Milford and tells CHSJ News she bought her house just over a year ago and did some repairs at the time. Her plumber said she had great copper pipes.
Hachey says “It started in the kitchen and then I had to tear down the ceiling in a bedroom and a had to replace three or four more pipes”.
“Nothing ever looks clean or feel clean” That is how one West sider feels about the water coming out of her taps.
The woman who lives on Riverview Drive did not want to give us her name but she tells us she has no interest in drinking the water after seeing what it does to the body.
After having a shower and drying her hair, she says it feels digusting like it has a thick film on it.
She also has very itchy dry skin from head to toe like she has a skin problem now.
She tells us she would absolutely consider moving because of this.
Maureen Hughes lives on Hillcrest Drive in Quinton Heights. She’s had a plumber in twice to repair pinhole leaks and she also notices stains on her pots.
Hughes says “When I looked inside the kettle, it looked like salt leftover from the dead sea.”.
