Low water table causing ‘milky’ water Neosho, MO – Neosho Public Works has received reports of “milky” water in some neighborhoods. This is being caused by the water well at Dewey and Finney Street drawing air into the lines because the water table is too low. Lines are currently being flushed out and the well at Dewey and Finney has been shut down until Neosho receives enough rainfall to bring the water table back up. If you have any questions, please call Neosho Public Works at 451-8071
