It's something David Wilkie has never encountered before.
The Bridgewater resident is complaining about his tapwater leaving a red-pinkish stain and black deposits on different fixtures in his bathroom.
Wilkie made a presentation to Council Monday night, explaining his situation.
Mayor Carroll Publicover says, while Council can't do anything, Wilkie should bring the matter up to the Public Service Commission.
"If it were me, I'd be on the doorstep on the Public Service Commission saying what's going on and hopefully he'll get an answer. He's saying it's also in other neighbours water, and so it's not just one individual crying in the wilderness, there's something there that needs to be looked at."
Councillor Bill McInnis explained to Wilkie that the red-pinkish stains are most likely bacteria.
Council suggested Wilkie to make a presentation at the next Public Service Commission meeting in mid-October.
