For decades, residents in the city have dealt with water issues, including high iron content and inconsistent quality. Flowers said the problem dates back nearly 40 years when shallow wells were first drilled.
“For 40 years, we’ve had iron content with the water, you know, with building the water plant and doing all that. Forty years ago, you had debt where to get the debt paid off in order to do something new,” the mayor said.
He said the city began addressing the issue about 10 years ago, and major progress was made four years ago with the drilling of a deeper well and construction of a new water tower.
“So what we’re doing right now is about 200 yards of pipe we have to install. And we just found that out after I became mayor again. So, that’s what we’re doing, and hopefully will help the water quality,” Flowers said.
The mayor said they hope to drill more wells in the city, which could cost $5 million.
