· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The City of Roma is continuing to investigate reports of an unusual odor in the drinking water that began on Monday, August 10. The city indicates that the issue may be related to infrastructure work and activity by authorities in the Rio Grande, near the water intake of the treatment plant. "We believe that one thing is related to the other," said Alfonso Ramírez, assistant to the City Manager of Roma. The TCEQ received three complaints from residents, and on Wednesday, an investigator visited Roma to collect water samples and review response protocols. The city assures that routine tests, turbidity levels, and residual chlorine remain within requirements, and that no violations of water quality have been detected so far. While the investigation continues, municipal staff is purging the affected lines and making adjustments to treatment. The city also reported that complaints decreased on Wednesday.
