Fredonia's Faltering Water System

FREDONIA - A glass of tap water in Paul Luce’s Fredonia home can, at times, look like a snow globe…only the flecks floating in it are rust-colored.Luce says it’s been this way for years.
“We still won’t drink it and we won’t cook with it… even after we filter it,” says Luce.
Yes, even after the water’s filtered there are visible particles in it. Luce brought us into the basement to show the system he had installed. The cylindrical filters themselves are bright white when new. Luce pulled the filter out after what he said was a little more than two-weeks of use.
It was almost pumpkin colored.
Luce says, “I change them probably every three weeks. But I could change them every week and it would already be orange.”
As a result, the household has changed the way it lives to adjust to the dirty water. The ice-makers in the refrigerator is not connected. There are regular runs to the store for bottled water which is used for drinking and food preparation. White clothes are a bad idea, because they come out of the wash tinted with the residue in the water.
