Veolia clears up cause of discolored water in Midstate
(WHTM) — After weeks of frustration from customers, Veolia said it pinpointed the cause of discolored water in the Midstate. The company said three water main breaks, a pump malfunction and a system-wide usage surge all kicked up naturally occurring minerals in the pipes, causing discoloration. Customers have complained of brown water for weeks. Many told abc27 News they felt the company itself lacked clarity throughout the ordeal. Back in June, Veolia blamed discolored water in Marysville, Susquehanna Township and Lower Paxton Township on sediment kicked up following a training test by firefighters from Rescue Fire Company 37. The fire company's chief said its crew conducted training in the area but that the water issues started before they got there. 'For Veolia Water to cast blame on the fire department for a preexisting condition is unwarranted and a blatant lie,' Chief Larry Reist said.

However, anyone with continues discoloration should contact the company. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ogden residents experiencing brown running water, officials say
OGDEN, Utah (ABC4) — Residents in Ogden are getting discolored water when they run their faucets, according to Ogden City. City officials said discolored water is often caused by a water line break in the area, jarring minerals in the pipeline loose. Additionally, the discolored water may be the result of source water transitions, common in the spring, officials said. 'Residents experiencing discolored water issues can reach on call crews by calling 801-629-8221,' a statement posted on social media from Ogden City reads. 'Dispatch will record your address and schedule a crew to come evaluate. Please call with concerns.' Officials said repair crews often resolve issues quickly by flushing water mains at hydrants. Some residents are reacting to the issue, with one individual stating online, 'I won't drink Ogden's water. Just had a double organ transplant and just can't take the risk with the fluctuations in Ogden City Government water. This year is terrible. Bought a cooler and bottled water.' Another individual said it took over a week to get someone out from the city to fix the issue. 'Ogden City Government took over a week to get someone out there. It took me going to the Utilities department. 6 days of brown water, had to pay the full bill. Water was unsafe and smelled of sulfur.' ABC4 has reached out to Ogden City regarding the issue but has not yet received a response.
