Some Harlem residents say they’ve been dealing with brown, discolored water running from their faucets for weeks, prompting frustration, distrust and a rush to buy bottled water.

“When I got up this morning, I turned it on I was like really shocked it’s totally brown, it’s not even light, it’s brown,” said Harlem resident Rose Miller.

Miller said the problem has persisted throughout her apartment.

“When I turn on my faucet in the kitchen, in the bathroom, I flush my toilet, the shower — brown, it’s just coming out brown and sediment is being left in the sink in the tub,” she said.

Other residents describe the same issue.

“It looks like poop water to be honest,” said another resident, Ali, who did not give his last name. “That’s just what it looks like — it looks like dirty water.”
