2 issues in water utilities with high priority
Discolored tap water
A resident brought a gallon of brown tap water from her home and demanded the city fix it, saying it ruins clothing and that her dogs cannot drink it. Councilman Kolodziej tied it to the loss of the city's direct seat on the Passaic Valley Water Commission and pushed for commissioners to attend council meetings.
Boil water advisory and PVWC notification failures
Allwood and Richfield residents learned of a boil water advisory and overnight water shutoff through social media, not official channels. The city says PVWC failed to notify it; Sadrakula demanded PVWC appear at the next meeting.
