Officials from Malverne and its water utility company held a meeting Thursday to discuss a plan to fix the village's brown water problem.

Representatives from American Water discussed a proposal to remove iron and the brown hue from the water supply.

The water company also said it wants to build a filtration system at one of its facilities. Residents wanted to know specifics about the proposed structure like what kind of trees and shrubs would surround it, what kind of siding would be installed and what it would look like.

Residents say they generally support the plan as long as it doesn't change the residential nature of their community.
