Some Spartanburg County customers of the Startex-Jackson-Wellford-Duncan Water District were surprised to find that their water was brown, due to the mineral content. Water was being drawn from deeper in Lyman Lake where the water has more minerals like iron and manganese. The water district switched to a secondary water source which should help with the discoloration.
