Adams Prudential Committee Says No Issues With Water
ADAMS, Mass. — Although there have been recent complaints about town water, clerk and treasurer of the Adams Prudential Committee Richard Kleiner said all is well.
Some residents took to Facebook late last week with concerns over the water after saying their pets had become sick.
Kleiner said there is nothing wrong with the water nor is the Fire District adding anything to the water that would make anyone or anything sick.
"I have a cat and my cat drinks it all the time and it is fine," he said. "It's been so hot that they drink out of puddles and who knows what's in there."
Kleiner noted that traces of coliform bacteria was discovered in the water in early spring and that water users were notified. He said the district acted quickly and the coliform is no longer an issue because of regular chlorination treatments.
"They had to chlorinate it because that chloroform is an indicator that something can happen so we started it early because we knew it was going to be a warm year," he said.
The only thing people may notice is the smell of chlorine in the water. He said this is just a regular treatment that will not cause any harm.
"If they smell a little bit of the chlorine in the morning it is nothing and it is not going to harm anyone," Kleiner said.
