It seems no matter which way he turns, Kel Williams finds another reason to be "bloody upset" at Murrumbidgee Irrigation (MI).

Three weeks after he and Amando Dissegna aired fears over dirty water in their channel, he says the problem has worsened.

In a meeting with MI, Mr Williams and Mr Dissegna were told that while traces of three chemicals were found the quantities were minute, rendering the water safe for them to use.

"We have worked with both customers to find a suitable solution, regarding making water available to them," an MI spokesman said.

"The test results have shown that there is nothing of concern in the water and customers have been receiving this water over the past few days."

Mr Williams is happy MI are still working towards fixing the issue, yet says as it stands, there is "absolutely no way" he would use the water in his house.

"They said there could be a possibility of them trucking in water, but so far they are still working on a solution," Mr Williams explained.

MI's initial response saw them lower the water level by 30 megalitres - their limit - in the hopes of removing enough dirty water to replace with fresh, according to Mr Williams.

Yet what has happened is now three pools are completely filled with dirty water.

"I checked the water on Thursday morning and it was worse than it was before," Mr Williams said.

"I want to blast them. They have no understanding of how water works."

He has concerns over what will happen in the future, if the run-offs from any rain do the same thing.

"Every time it rains this dirty water run-off will fill the channels and we will have the same problem."

Separate water testing done by Griffith City Council's Lake Wyangan and Catchment Management Project Officer Tom Ryan are still pending.

The issues arose for the two residents after heavy rains in November.

At the end of Lakeview Branch Canal, they have avoided using any water from the channel as much as possible, using what remains in their house dams while also purchasing water from town.

"But the issue remains the same. We pay the same money as everyone else, so why should the quality differ?" Mr Williams insisted.
