LUCAMA, N.C. (WNCN) – In one Wilson County town, the new normal is bottled water and that’s a problem, according to CBS 17 viewers.
"The state and our local town has told us this is safe to drink.
I don’t believe this is safe to drink," Tiffany Fragoso said.
Fragoso lives in Lucama and she said the town water is undrinkable and unusable.
"It will start to get a metallic taste, and then from there from yellow to brown, and even red," she described.
"We need clean water," Fragoso told CBS 17.
Town Commissioner Patricia Uzzell did.
"I am telling them to drink bottled water," Uzzell said.
I have maxed out credit cards buying water for the town people, and I will keep getting water for the town people."
Until the problem is fixed, many in Lucama said they’ll rely on bottled water.
