Brown water, extreme chlorine smells: E. coli found near Floresville water sparks outrage

Forty-five homes in a subdivision near Floresville, Texas depend on a well for water, but they tell KSAT that for about two years now, the water quality has them afraid for their health.

Why would people trust these criminals they don’t care! They are charging large sums of money and they don’t care

2 yrs with that water like that why did they let it go on for so long that’s an uninhabitable living condition I would have got me a lawyer and took it to court totally unacceptable 😡

I'm not sure if Floresville has the same sandy type soil as around the Somerset/Lytle area. If so, the water tends to get that way when the ground water can't seep into the well fast enough.
The water at the bottom of the well usually has this fine silt in it. Texas is growing too quickly, and cities are sucking water from all over. San Antonio is sucking water 142 miles NE of SA (Vista Ridge Pipeline).
If Floresville is getting its water from the Carizo aquifer, then SA is draining it miles beyond Floresville and SA both. Of course, this has nothing to do with the E. coli and chlorine.

This is why I never complain about safety regulations.

Why am I seeing the 'Erin Brockovich' scene ... 'I had the water brought in special' ... and do it at a meeting with their representatives. Let's see if they'd care to drink that brown stuff.

Not enough people educating themselves and taking care of their community. Too many trouble makers

[saidaaaab]

[EdwardM]

If I owned a home, I would have gotten my tap 😊water tested, out of my pocket.

Wasn't there a movie about something like this with Julia Roberts?

[staciesstuff]

Texas geesh some better regulations are ok. Really it’ll be fine. Do your job.

It's obvious the well is contaminated from something in that water sand formation, but cswr should not be collecting money for that crap. Cswr should be investigated and sued, if the water is coming out of the well in that condition, or is it being contaminated in there system. But 100% fubar

[philliphall]

So it’s in the water and not in the McDonald’s burger

[rafaelunplugged]

1:43 so just flushing gallons everyday for every faucet? Lol.

2:55 running for 25 minutes. Jesus.

Send the city a bill for the filters monthly

[jazziez]

I'm in Mich and my toilets get stained and I'm sure no one will reimburse me for the permanently stained toilet and bathtubs where the water dripped and also ruined the tub

[etanneriii]

My water in los angeles ain't safe, but at least it ain't brown. 😅😢

Personally id be calling my representatives daily asking them why they think we should live like its a 3rd world country while still paying first world tax rates. Id call daily until it was resolved.
