Mystery of Colored Water Baffles Chanute Officials
Residents in Chanute reported brown colored water from taps from Tuesday to Thursday as city crews investigated. Interim City Manager Ross Cooper and water plant superintendent Kenneth Trammell offered explanations from coloration caused by autumn leaves to possible oil runoff from the Neosho River and Redmond Reservoir. Tests by state health officials and the Redmond Reservoir manager showed mixed results, with color fading by Friday and no clear cause identified, while Iola reported less color and attributed potential oil runoff from nearby wells.
