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.
Luce pulled the filter out after what he said was a little more than two-weeks of use.
Water main breaks have been commonplace in Fredonia this year.
Snyder has recently re-inspected Fredonia water system.
The aged, iron water mains were one problem outlined in a 2015 report by the county health department.
That figure dwarfs the current cost of running village government for a year: $11,000,000.
Did Mayor Landis know how bad the Fredonia water system was when she ran for office?
Preventing that is a familiar refrain among local governments, there’s not enough money.
Obviously, my priority are the streets that have this really big problem with the colored water,” says Landis.

Students at Glen Carbon Elementary will be drinking bottled water while some of the water in the village is discolored.
Glen Carbon is undergoing a series of water meter connections to a newly-installed water main on West Main Street.
The project began Nov. 6, and is estimated to take three weeks, attaching residential and commercial users to the main.
The city of Edwardsville provides water to Glen Carbon, but the village services their own lines.

There was no immediate indication of a boil order in Glen Carbon.
Village officials could not be immediately reached for confirmation, but Edwardsville officials said they were unaware of a boil order in either town.
The valve has been replaced and water is now clear in Troy, according to water department officials.

The Asbury Park Press analyzed nearly 4,000 water quality tests performed at New Jersey beaches this summer.
Here are the five beaches that failed bacteria tests most often.
Russ Zimmer HAZLET – New Jersey American Water issued a precautionary boil water advisory for Dover Court in Hazlet, after a water main break.
The company said about 14 customers are affected.
Check out the video above this story for information on bacteria in New Jersey beaches.
Customers on Dover Court are advised to bring water to a rolling boil for one minute and allow cooling before drinking it or using it for ice cubes, washing vegetables and fruit and for brushing teeth.
New Jersey American Water also recommends the following steps in a release issued Thursday night: – Throw away uncooked food or beverages or ice cubes if made with tap water during the day of the advisory; – Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking; – Rinse hand-washed dishes for a minute in diluted bleach (one tablespoon of household bleach per gallon of tap water) or clean your dishes in a dishwasher using the hot wash cycle and dry cycle.
– Do not swallow water while you are showering or bathing; – Provide pets with boiled water after cooling; – Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using bottled water; most home water filters will not provide adequate protection from microorganisms; – Use only boiled water to treat minor injuries.
If customers have any questions they can dial 1-800-272-1325.

The area west of S. Park St. and south of W. Grand Ave. was included in the "precautionary boil order," which means just in case something is wrong with the water’s quality — people should be sure to drink bottled water for the time being.
Inside Port Washington’s Water Department, David Kleckner was hard at work, Thursday, keeping the city’s water safe to drink.
"Right now, the samples are looking good," said Kleckner.
Portions of the city were placed under a precautionary boil order as a result of a fire hydrant breaking.
Officials said residents in the boil order area should not drink, or consume, any water until 7:30 p.m.
"Immediately called the DNR for their advice on how to handle the procedure.
Water sample testing involved collecting the water in a jar, and then incubating it for 24 hours.
When done, if it comes out yellow, then it means the water is not safe to drink.
Suppiger said fortunately, it didn’t interrupt a party she was having.
FOX6 asked what her reaction would be if the lab results came back positive for contamination.

WESTERLY, R.I. — Health officials have issued a boil water notice in Westerly, Rhode Island after E. coli bacteria was found in the water supply.
The state Department of Health said Wednesday that water customers should boil water used for human consumption — including drinking and cooking — for at least one minute.
Customers can also use bottled water.
E.coli is bacteria that signal the presence of fecal matter.
It was detected in a routine sample taken on Monday.
E.coli can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms.
The bacteria poses an increased health risk for infants, young children, the elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems.
Even with the boil-water advisory in place, all Westerly Public Schools will remain open on Thursday, CBS affiliate WPRI reports.
Resident Courtney Capizzano said she ran out to the store for bottled water immediately following the boil water order.
"We have dogs at home, babies at home.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — In her eight years living in Teviston, Blanca Roman has watched the town’s water quality slowly degrade–going from clear to brown to none at all.
"Yeah, it’s kind of degrading when you talk about it," said Blanca Roman.
The well has been churning out discolored water for weeks–forcing the state to truck in bottled water.
"At first you were like we want water, now it’s like just give me any water because we want to flush our toilet," said Roman.
Families found themselves demanding answers at a second community meeting in a week, where the Water District laid out short-term solutions.
The state awarded Teviston an additional $158,000 to haul in water, but a long-term solution is unclear.
"Unfortunately, yes I wish I had that answer, there’s just too many balls up in the air right now," said Elizabeth Burton.
In the meantime, they have filed for emergency funding to build a new permanent well.
"They can’t give you an answer because they don’t know.
What I’d want to know is how we got here," said Roman.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, MICH. (WZZM) – Amid growing concern about the safety of groundwater near an old Wolverine Worldwide dumpsite in Plainfield Township, there is differing ideas over what level of contamination should be a concern.
“I am saying any detection in the groundwater, in a person’s groundwater well for drinking, I would recommend at this time not to use it for drinking or cooking,’’ said Christina Bush, a toxicologist with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The federal government, however, is more forgiving.
Its health advisory level is set at 70 parts per trillion and does not make a distinction between private wells and municipal water.
Municipal supplies that test positive for low levels of PFAS are less of a concern, she said.
On Wednesday, Rockford Public Schools announced that well water at three of its elementary schools tested positive for trace amounts of PFAS.
Levels at Cannonsburg, Crestwood and Lakes elementary schools in Cannon Township ranged from 0.891 to 1.25 parts per trillion – well below the EPA advisory level.
But in trying to put it in perspective, everybody somewhere along the line has some of that in their body.’’ He says he will have water tested at the three elementary schools and at East Rockford Middle School each May.
“At this point, until we receive results on the well testing, we don’t know exactly how many homes that will be.’’ The township’s municipal water, which serves about 35,000 customers, has consistently tested positive for low levels of PFAS, Plainfield Township Public Works Director Rick Solle said.
Recent tests showed levels at 8.1 parts per trillion, he said.

Wolverine executives announced Wednesday, Nov. 15, that any home in the southeast expansion area whose water has any level of PFOA or PFOS would be eligible for a whole-house filtration system.
The global shoe company has been testing homeowners’ wells for the toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances called PFAS, previously used in Scotchguard to waterproof leather.
Waste from the Rockford tannery was dumped in sites across the Belmont area, and the cancer-causing chemicals area now showing up in drinking water.
Since Oct. 18 when the new southeast expansion area was drawn from Chandler Drive south to Rogue River Drive, and from Samrick Avenue east to the Rogue River, Wolverine has offered homeowners bottled water.
A "significant majority" of test results from homes in the new zone are below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s drinking water health advisory of 70 parts per trillion, the company said Wednesday in a news release.
"From the beginning, we have said that Wolverine is committed to doing the right thing and we want residents to have confidence in the safety of their water," said Chris Hufnagel, senior vice president of strategy for Wolverine, in a statement.
"We are glad that Wolverine has now agreed with us and we call on them to provide whole house filters to the other families affected by its waste disposal practices," Phelps said.
"Wolverine’s initial refusal to provide filters, and its ongoing refusal to offer blood testing to residents, is clearly not consistent with its stated corporate value of "do the right thing – always."
On Oct. 12 Wolverine offered 338 homes in one of the first study areas near House Street whole-house filters.
So far, 76 homes in the House Street area have had whole-house filters installed and about 30 more homes are on track to have filters installed by the end of the week, the company said Wednesday.

According to city media release, the city is recommending water be boiled before drinking or alternative water sources be used for “some customers in the area of West Zeller Street between Sugar Creek Lane and Prairie Ridge Court, customers along Zeller Crossing, and customers on Elm Ridge Drive between Zeller Street and Elm Ridge Court,” although it noted that customers on Elm Ridge Court are not affected.
Instructions for boiling water for drinking from the release: • Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water.
The water may be used for bathing and other similar purposes.
For more information on this situation, residents can contact Greg Metternich, the city’s water superintendent, at (319) 626-5700.
General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791.
Here are instructions for what to do when the water service is restored: • When water service is restored, there may be air in your water piping and the water may be discolored.
Open the faucet slowly to allow the air to escape.
Once the water is flowing, allow the faucet to run until it is clear.
If water is cloudy throughout the house and it does not clear after allowing the water to run for several minutes, contact Greg Metternich.
The boil order is a precaution until these bacterial results are available and analyzed, according to the release.

ALGOMA TOWNSHIP, MI — Wolverine World Wide is distributing bottled water and testing residential wells for toxic fluorochemicals in another Rockford area neighborhood amid a continually expanding state investigation into old tannery waste disposal.
State officials say the latest testing area includes about 100 homes, many of them upscale and located on former farmland where a longtime local resident says Wolverine once spread its lime-heavy tannery sludge as crop fertilizer decades ago.
Homes in the Rezen Drive NE neighborhood and two private drives off Childsdale Avenue NE suspected of being old sludge dumps sites are awaiting results of PFAS testing.
Several homeowners declined on Monday to share the results of private well testing along Elstner Drive NE and in the Wellington Ridge neighborhood, a planned unit development subdivision of $300,000-plus homes first developed in the late 1990s out of an old farm.
Richard Geldhof, a local historian who lives on Elstner Drive, said he alerted the DEQ to sludge application on the farm that is now Wellington Ridge.
Geldhof did landscaping in Wellington Ridge during housing development and said sludge residue was rototilled into topsoil that was spread around the neighborhood.
It’s not entirely clear what years the sludge application occurred, although Geldhof said it was more than once.
Brown said the DEQ has heard about sludge applied to farmland as fertilizer in numerous neighborhoods around Kent County amid the agency’s investigation into PFAS groundwater contamination connected to Wolverine waste sites.
The list of sites, or "source areas," the DEQ is investigating has grown to 75, about 26 of which the agency has referred to Wolverine for follow-up testing, she said.
The agency is working off tips from the public and Brown said a majority of sites investigated aren’t connected to Wolverine, although DEQ is looking at each one.
