Colton residents concerned over poor water quality

For more than a decade, residents in Colton have been experiencing a decline in water quality and many people who live there say they are feeling ignored by officials at the local water district.  While the city has put out notifications about the water quality on their social media channels, residents who spoke to KTLA say one of the main problems is they never know when the water is going to be changing from a clear color to brown. “It’s okay right now, it’s clear,” Colton resident Cheyenne Hendricks said as she ran her water, “but it could be running just like this and all of a sudden it’s coming out looking like coffee.”  The periodic brown water spews out of faucets and showerheads for many people living in Colton.
