The most numerous type of complaint continues to be relative to high iron concentrations in the water. Noticeably reduced is the number of low pressure complaints from earlier years. None have been received in 2006. This is largely attributable to the increased water supply and the expansion and looping of the distribution pipes within the system. The other complaints received include odor, hardness, and sand in the water Action: No action required.
