Residents of the east Orange County neighborhood of Wedgefield have complained about the smell and taste of the water coming from their taps.
Wedgefield is serviced by a private water company called Pluris, but after a growing number of complaints, Orange County agreed to foot the bill to test the water. The test results found some by-products that could be harmful to resident’s health...but Pluris said the results were flawed and called for re-testing.
Now, the issue has gone political and one candidate for a county commission seat is promising an in-depth look at Wedgefield’s water.
What was in those test results? What health impact could they have on residents? And what’s next for the water in Wedgefield?
