the watercolor and quality in berea is a hot button topic particularly with cyril kleem and objects to people with bath water that looks like this and a water testing lab found unacceptable levels of lead. the discoloration of the water could be due to the construction. we have been flooded with comments from viewers from berea who say the problem has been happening on and off for decades. >> in a of less than 10 a year and a lot of people don't realize water doesn't come out of the water plant looking like this. >> no claim that the water leaving the plant is bad. they led us through the purification process. it is sophisticated and begins with half million gallon clarifying tanks and 2 million gallons on average. >> this is great at killing pathogens and viruses and carbon filtration is great for taking

problem with your water how soon should you be notified? >> we found the notice on the e.p.a. web site. the e.p.a. has three tiers of public notification. how you get notified is what tier the situation falls into it. tier 1 requires immediate notice. if there's an immediate risk to human health such as e. coli and high levels of nitrates, water suppliers are supposed to alert the media and personally deliver notices to their customers within if contaminate levels exceed eppa standards and no immediate health risk that's a tier 2 and requires public notification within 30 days. the two recent violations we found in the city of berea fall under tier 3. the city had up to a year to tell customers they failed to monitor drinking water for contaminates. in one of the cases we checked. berea took nine months to notify
