NORTON, MA — Every few weeks, Tony Manzo drains some water from his hot water heater at his home in Norton. And what comes out is a thick, amber liquid. It’s Norton’s town water.
“We have high iron and manganese content. When it gets into the pipes, it works to create this rust that people have been having issues with,” said town manager Mike Yunits. It’s been that way for years.
But help is on the immediate horizon: a new, $8 million treatment plant will go online in a matter of weeks. It’ll be able to treat 2.5 million gallons of water per day.
