​Over the past two years, residents of the Sherwood Court Mobile Park in Allegany, NY have been complaining about the color of their water. The Department of Health tested the water and found high levels of manganese. The owner was fined, and the mobile home was ordered to be closed in April. Yvonne Maldonado from MHA (Manufactured Housing Action) spoke with HMM.

The mobile park may have been sold. The department of health is not returning phone calls, and it is unclear if the water issue has been fixed. The residents of Sherwood Court Mobile Park are facing uncertainty on all fronts. HMM will continue to follow up on this situation.
