Another issue at the board meeting

There was discussion about some residents having problems with water quality. It does not seem to be a localized problem, oddly enough, with complaint areas being spread around. My next door neighbor complains of discolored water and ours is fine. Another board member has no problem but his neighbor across the street does and also complains of chlorine odor. It is hard to pin down since the water comes from the same lines.
The health department has been contacted and they report there have received no complaints of water quality but if people want their water tested they can stop by and get sanitary bottles from them, take their home samples, and bring them back indicating what tests they want performed. Yes there will be a charge but you will also have peace of mind.
One board member made the motion for Candlewick to pay for water testing in several locations. There was a second but the motion failed on a close vote.
Here is my take on the situation. The P.O.s should not be asked to pay for testing from their dues. Where should we test? Would this be open ended? What if half the community decides they want their water tested because they don't trust AQUA?  For those not trusting AQUA's tests there is an alternative for their own testing. I could not vote to pay for the tests. When the original well is back on line... which should be soon... this problem will  go away in my opinion.
  Something else to consider, complain to AQUA, telling them as your supplier you do not trust their water and want yours individually tested. Contact the health department as well. If many people do this it will bring pressure to bear.
