Weird Water Worries Neighbors
(01/10/06 -- RALEIGH) - Neighbors in a north Raleigh community are a little worried about what's floating in a creek near their homes.
A sticky, white substance has surfaced in a stream that flows out of Falls Lake into the Sheffield Manor subdivision, off Falls of Neuse Road north of Interstate 540.
"We want to know what is this substance, and is it really something that's hazardous?" said Ron Gregory, one of the concerned homeowners.
City and state water officials are studying samples from the creek. Most agree that the substance is coming from the North Raleigh Water Treatment Plant, which empties into the creek.
Raleigh officials tell Eyewitness News that the substance may be calcium, which they added to the water to help deal with chlorine in the water. State officials are continuing their tests.
