Fire hydrant flushing in Kotzebue has left some residents there experiencing discoloration of their tap water.
“Brown water. And you could smell it. Just, it was terrible,” Kotzebue resident Trudy Kenworthy said. “It smelt like probably fecal matter.”
But Ferguson said there’s another factor at play this year with the city’s darker-than-normal water: manganese. Ferguson said the level of manganese in the Kotzebue water system is not a health threat, and that if residents are experiencing discolored water, they should run the water until it’s clear.“It doesn’t go away, it’s not going away as we speak,” Kenworthy said.
“I’m concerned for my elders, our elders up there. And the babies. And just the population in general,” Kenworthy said. “It’s got to be taken care of, that water. Water is just something that you can’t mess with.”
