Norton residents disgusted by brown, discolored water

NORTON, Mass.
The Town of Norton sent a letter, advising residents with infants and young children to drink bottled water.
The town is also providing free, clean water from a dispenser behind Town Hall.
But many residents told NBC 10 News that water issues in Norton have persisted for a long time.
She said it often leaves behind a sediment that has ruined her bathtub, dishwasher and appliances.
Like many residents, Heida relies mostly on bottled water, while still paying a town water bill.
Norton Town Officials have warned residents of higher than normal levels of manganese found in some wells.
Families with infants are encouraged to give them bottled water or water from the town’s dispenser, which officials claim filters out manganese.
"I don’t want to be in it," Heida said.
In the letter, officials said wells and storage tanks are cleaned on a regular basis.
