Currently, communitymembers use an undesirable bacteria-laden surface water source, rather than a chemically andbiologically safe ground water source located nearby6. This is due to the unpleasant aesthetics(color, taste) and reddish/orange staining caused by high concentrations of iron in the groundwater. Students are currently conducting laboratory experiments and developing community- andhousehold
