It's that time of year when the mineral manganese is present
June 27, 2025
Dear MacBee Customer,
If you notice that your water has a yellow or brown tint and smell, it is likely due to manganese. Manganese is a mineral found in all lake water at all times. MacBee SUD adjusts the water treatment during the hot summer months because manganese becomes more visible in warm weather. Although MacBee makes every effort to prevent manganese from entering the water system, it is sometimes unavoidable. The manganese only affects the color of your water and is NOT harmful. The water is treated and safe to use. T.C.E.Q. does not require a "boil water" notice to be issued for the presence of manganese in your water.
