Residents of Embarrass, a village in Waupaca County, are asking the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to help them get their tap water cleaned up. Iron in the water flowing to customers makes it discolored and brown. A D-N-R examination finds the water isn’t a health hazard, but it still makes the residents mad that the problem has existed for about a year. Embarrass has two water wells, but one has been off-line for months. The D-N-R says it should be back in operation soon and the improvement should be immediate. State engineers suggest people flush their private plumbing and consider buying a water filter for their homes.
