Residents said they don't know what else to do after complaining for years about brown tap water.
One resident showed a video of brown water coming out of his pipes and said it's been happening off and on for a decade.
"I never ask for help. I need help," said David Gies.
Gies and other neighbors are emotional about the issue, telling us they've had enough.
"I think we're advocating for the folks who can't. I think we can make a difference," said Barbara Moore.
More than a dozen families protested outside the Clementon Borough Municipal Building on Thursday afternoon.
"I just don't trust the water here. I think it's time for change," said Barbara Moore. "My shower, every other day, I'm cleaning it. It gets an orange ring as well as my toilets. We have multiple filters in the house and I still drink bottled water."
Some of them in and around the area say they've been experiencing brown tap water sporadically for 10 years or even longer in some cases.
"Everything's getting ruined," Gies said. "I've been down here in '17 and complained, and nothing has gotten done. Nothing."
Gies added, "They want to give us rust remover, how about some water, how about some ice. How about not charging us for the water?"
The mayor and the other council members weren't in the office during the protest while Action News was there, but provided a statement:
"The Borough is aware of residents' concerns regarding localized water discoloration within a specific area serviced. We are actively investigating the cause and working with our Water Department to address this matter. Our priority is to ensure delivery of safe and reliable water to all residents serviced by our system. The Borough will continue to provide updates to residents as any new information becomes available."
Nick Nagle says it's concerning to see what his mother and stepdad are experiencing.
"They literally have to fill up jugs of water from my town and bring it to their town so it's safe to drink, essentially," Nagle said.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regulates water quality in the state.
The agency said residents can file a complaint with them if a water supplier doesn't act on an issue.
Residents plan to attend the next Clementon council meeting on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
