Bridge City seems to be getting a handle on the brown water problem. The first week of September the city received only a few calls on the colored water. City Manager Jerry Jones reports a similar low volume of complaints during the second week of the month. Jones says the city has corrected the calibrations on all the pumps, is still flushing the system, and looping the lines. Jones believes the ultimate solution to the brown water will be installing a filter on the Bridge City water system. Jones points out the filtering systems are very expensive, and he is looking for ways to fund one of those. Jones adds that if Bridge City can find a grant to pay for a filtering system they’ll go ahead and do that. The purchasing of a filtering system is not in Bridge City’s proposed 2014-2015 budget which is scheduled for approval on Tuesday. That is why Jones is looking to find grant money to pay for the filtering system.
