Residents unhappy about worms in their tap water

Residents of a small east Texas town say they are dealing with worms in their drinking water.



About 30 neighbours from the Woodland Acres subdivision of Old River-Winfree went to the water facility on Wednesday afternoon with their own samples to show. They all said that worms are flowing out with their tap water.



"There's these red ones, there's these black ones, almost look like tadpoles," said Andrea Devault. Private company, J&S Water, says it did have a power outage this weekend and some equipment broke, so it flushed the system and on Tuesday asked people to start boiling their water.

But the company says it's tested the water multiple times with the state environmental agency and found no sign of worms. They're blaming some other source, like the pipes. The neighbours went to the water facility hoping to talk to someone from the company but the spokesman is out of town.
