Saraland resident Amanda Bergeron is one of many facing this problem, and it’s making her weary about the water that comes out of her pipes.
“I haven’t washed any laundry yet, but as far as cooking and drinking water, we’re using bottled water right now,” she explained.
She shared pictures with News 5 of how brown her bathtub water looked when her daughter wanted to take a bath Wednesday night.
She took pictures of what she saw, and she was immediately disgusted, but she said this is a recurring issue.

“Usually around once a month we get that,” Bergeron said. “Recently, it was last week it was yellow. Last night it was brown. Once it clears up, then it smells like it’s got chlorine in it. And the water has sludge in the top of it.”
