In an unusual sight, a section of the Grand Marais drain in Windsor has turned a vibrant green hue recently. This striking coloration is a result of a dye that was introduced into the water system for testing purposes by Enwin.
The dye was added as part of the Windsor Utilities Commission’s Feedermain project. During an inspection of the system, a portion of the new infrastructure failed to meet the standards, prompting the use of dye to pinpoint the exact location of the issue.
Enwin reassured the public that the dye used is food-grade and non-toxic, specifically designed and approved for use in drinking water. A spokesperson from Enwin mentioned that once the testing process is finalized, the affected watermain will be flushed and reevaluated to ensure its full functionality before being put into operation.
The affected area, located near Grand Marais Road East close to Langlois Avenue, has garnered attention, with ducks even seen swimming in the green-tinted water. The bright green water in the creek has become a temporary spectacle in the region.
