Your FAQ

Question: My water smells or tastes funny - what can I do?

Answer: From time to time drinking water can be affected by events that have occurred on the supply system. In almost all cases these are harmless and short-lived. The first thing to do is to run your water for a couple of minutes to see if the problem clears. However, if you are concerned that the water is affecting your health, or that it has not cleared after you have run it for a couple of minutes, contact your water supplier.
