DELCAMBRE — Delcambre resident Ricky Bourque is getting some relief from the town on his water bill while the town looks to figure out why the water he is getting from the town’s water service is so dirty.
Bourque spoke to the town’s Board of Aldermen at the monthly board meeting on Monday, and showed them a filter he had taken off the system he uses between the town service line and his house. The filter was stained a dark, rusty brownish red color. Bourque said he’s had to change the filter after only a couple of days use, a $15 a filter.
