Aqua Saco

CONWAY — When one thinks of turquoise waters, one normally imagines the Caribbean. But a River Street woman says she was shocked Monday evening to see that the Saco River has taken on a tropical-looking hue.

The state Department of Transportation says the color change was due to bridge workers hitting a clay-like material that caused the color change.
