CHESTER — A Chester water commissioner has confirmed that the town’s drinking water supply is discolored and said that naturally occurring manganese is suspected to be the cause.
Commissioner Robert Daley said in an email to The Republican Saturday that the town tested the water supply in June and that test came back negative for manganese. A new test was conducted on July 15 and another will done on July 22. Daley said in a subsequent email that the commission has yet to receive results from the July 15 test. Daley said those results will be released soon.
