Cavendish, VT reports high iron and manganese levels in drinking water
Parents of Cavendish,VT school children have expressed concerns about the drinking water in the local elementary school, after reports that elevated levels of manganese could have health implications.
While bottled water was found to be too expensive, School Board Chairman Mike Cerevole said Town Manager Richard Svec, who is also the public health officer for Cavendish, provided the board with an update on filtration studies.
Cavendish is one of many towns in Vermont dealing with high iron and manganese levels in drinking and wash water.
Filtration has proved successful in many of these Vermont towns.
Manganese was placed on EPA's contaminant candidate list in 2000. EPA scientists studied the health risks of high concentrations of manganese in drinking water for three years, as reported in the Rutland Herald.
