Did you ever find an answer to this? So is ours

No, I was hoping to find out what the problem is. Please file a complaint and hopefully the city will address the issue.

Glad to see we aren't the only ones with this problem. It is horrible!!! i wonder if the city has an answer on why this is happening

Maybe we should file a complaint with the city water department. I noticed my water is yellowish also. please post if any updates thank you.

Well its been almost a month. Whats the use of this web site.

I don't know if others problems fixed... But water now clean again. About 3 days ago. Smells a little chlorinated, but finally clear again! Happy to have clean clear water

I do not want to close the status of the yellow water situation. My water continues to be yellow but not as concentrated as before. I suggest you keep on working on it and check back with me.

Thank you

Mine too, I live four blocks east of the water treatment plant on Johnson St, just east of University, and I have had a yellow tinge in the water for the last two months and is progressively getting worse. This isn't very appealing to guests, and the PŪR water filter doesn't help much either.

Yes, the water continues to be yellow in color. I have complained numerous times and even the mayor responded. Unfortunately, the situation continues with no solution except for the fact that they chlorinated the water for several days.

I filled a plastic 16 oz bottle from my fridge. Hoping it would be clear. NO its yellow with yellow ice. HOW MANY MONTHS IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THE TRUTH.

The clear water was short lived. Back to yellow bath water AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! This is horrible

Very good question maybe,Mr. Mayor of Pembroke Pines has the answer to that! I pay my taxes and one of the amenities is clean water!

Finally, December 21 which is 7 weeks later the water company finally showed up here to take samples of the water. The water has very high iron content. I was also told that it's better now . My reply was this is unacceptable drinking water it's yellow. The worker also stated that he needs to report back to his chief officer who would make a final decision. This is unacceptable drinking water. I want to file a complaint with the district commissioner Mr. Schwartz. I pay my taxes and one of the amenities of doing so is clean drinking water.

Don't forget to thank the mayor for all the help he provided with his comments.

Actually, December 21, 2015 Pembroke Pines water department was here at my residence to take water samples. The technician told me that the well water had high contents of iron and was no longer in use. My reply was yes you chlorinated the water and you thought the problem would be resolved. He stated that he needed to take the sample back to his supervisor to address the issue. I notified the department of health and the Federal government.

Still on going situation.

Hello. Anyone here who can provide me name & address of whom I may file a formal complaint? This situation continues & is HORRIBLE!!! My bath water looks like urinated toilet water. I'm embarrassed for guests to use our shower. Not to mention, toilet bowl water is yellow as well, so it looks as if we don't flush toilet. I'm afraid of what this might be doing to our skin & my baby's skin. Please help, anyone with a name or address or phone of whom can make notice of this serious water problem in Pembroke Pines.

Thank you, for your response. I've been dealing with this situation for the past two months without a resolution. Even our Mayor of Pembroke Pines has not addressed the issue. I have reported this to the federal government below you will find the address. I recommend that you filed a complaint as well since the city of Pembroke Pines is not addressing the issue.

The yellow water situation is still outstanding. I notified the department of health in which they called me.. The city of Pembroke Pines is checking the water. The Department of Health stated that they will notify me the results of the water test.

I filed a complaint to department of health on 1/12/16. I received a reply today (1/14/16), stating they came out to area & tested water yesterday. They attached the tested water results to their email response & concluded the following reply:

As you may notice, the color level is high. However, water discoloration is aesthetic and does not constitute an acute risk to health. The Department will continue to work closely with the city of Pembroke Pines in an effort to at least try to reduce the color units in the water.

We have noticed yellow water for the last couple of months, but now seems darker. We live in Pembroke Falls. I hope this is still being addressed.

Ra_wolfe: please contact via email the department of health, providing your location. Their last reply to me regarding the water color was that it was just an "aesthetic issue" and the water is safe. It's safe, so don't worry about yellow water, in other words. I don't know about you, but bathing in yellow water or seeing the dishes I wash with yellow water, makes me feel there is a safety issue. They stated they'll continue to look at working on color issue, but to me it's highly doubtful. Email for department of health: AskEH@flhealth.gov.

Thanks someone will contact you

My water is still very yellow. This has gone on for far too long. When is this problem going to be corrected?

Not a very inviting bath...

its hopeless they come they check they flush....... they come they check they flush....... and nothing changes

I want to now what disinfectnants are used to treat the water in Pembroke Pines? Is it chlorine or chloramine? I suggest contacting the EPA.

@concerned_guest- wow, this is a very concerning article. I wish I would have attended the town hall meeting last week. I wonder if this issue was addressed by anyone at Town Hall last week? More awareness needs to be pressed on this on going issue.

We have been having the same issue in Woodbridge off of Sheridan and Palm Ave. it is concerning that so many different developments have the same problem and the city has taken so long to address. Has there been a known resolution or have any notifications been sent about health concerns?

I received an email from Broward department of health. The gentleman stated that the city Pembroke Pines was going to pull up her permit to fix the issue.

The city came and took a water sample from my house in February. I got the same answer everyone else is getting: "the water is perfectly safe to use. The color is displeasing but the water is safe."
I think the city should be upfront about the problem and keep us updated on their plan of correction. Maybe the news media can help shed more light on the situation?

Our water remains yellow. Even our guests have noticed it. I haven't heard back from health department yet.

Hmm - maybe Carmel on the Case? WSVN?

This issue is not resolved. Why is this post being closed?

Because they don't want to hear about it anymore.

It's interesting how it was closed as soon as we mentioned bringing the matter to the media's attention.

This issue is not resolved why is this water situation issue closed.

I gave up on this issue. I just invested in a home softener system with upgrade on filter that also removes coloration of water. Company installing the system tested my home water & I pointed out how unappealing the yellow color is to us. Installation of system is taking place today.

Ivelise, please let me know how you like the softener and if that helps. Was thinking of doing the same.
