Discolored, Smelly Water Issue Fixed in Mendham, But Residents Should Still Be Alert

When residents began seeing and smelling discolored, odorous water in Mendham, it became quite apparent something was wrong.

The Southeast Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority ended up shutting down the Clyde Potts Water Treatment Plant when it learned there were higher than normal Manganese levels in the water, causing the smell and discoloration.

In the time since, the treatment plant has been put back in service and is operating at full production, the SMCMUA reported on its website.

In the case that water does begin to have issues again, however, customers are asked to call 973-326-6880 immediately.
