STROUD TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A quiet community in the Poconos facing a big water problem. On Friday, residents in Blue Mountain Lake got an alert from Pennsylvania American Water (PAW) about a test finding high levels of manganese in part of their water supply. A water tanker is for residents to get clean water while PAW sorts out the manganese problem. According to PAW, manganese is natural and essential at low doses, but chronic high exposure could be harmful. Residents tell 28/22 news this is not the first time they've had problems with their water, and enough is enough. "We've been dealing with it for the three and a half years we've lived here," said Blue Mountain Lake resident Rashad McNair. McNair says he is no stranger to water problems in his Blue Mountain Lake home. "My water is always brown. My son occasionally comes up with rashes on the side of his head," McNair explained.

The saying “cats have nine lives” is holding true for two in Monroe County. Now an animal shelter that took them in at their worst is hoping the rest of their lives are spent in a furever home. Animals Can't Talk Rescue and Adoption Volunteer Toni Baraniuk says, "He’s doing ok. He doesn’t like his dressing changes. They do hurt. Burns hurt no matter if you burn yourself it hurts, it hurts him. He’s feeling pain." This cat is now in good hands after suffering what’s believed to be third degree burns. Baraniuk says, "I’ve been taking care of burns for 30 plus years, that’s what I did before I retired, I worked in a burn intensive care unit in New Jersey so this is what I would say is my specialty."
