BIRMINGHAM, Ala (WIAT) – It's been more than a month since the water in Pell City began changing color. It was caused by a change in pipes. The city says the problem is clearing up. But, some neighbors aren’t convinced. Mayor Bill Hereford says the water discoloration remains a top priority. “It's really tough on those people who have the discolored water, our water is safe, it's been tested, it's just the discoloration that’s the problem,” Mayor Hereford says.
Mayor Hereford reminds neighbors to keep flushing the system so the problem drains away.
