Water NI

Has anyone noticed the poor quality of water from their house taps??

In the Craigavon area it is very cloudy and not drinkable at all!!

I contacted WaterNI who will investigate in the next 2 days I have been advised!!

nickcardwell

have you left the tap running for a minute or so?

Fill a glass and let it sit for a minute. If it clears then it is air in the system and should be ok to drink, if it doesn't clear then be very careful with it.

I've noticed the water pressure is very poor, but the quality seems to be much the same as ever.

Want to live up here - water is so rank that when we took a sample of it in to PAH so they could get a true measure of what out tank water was like they checked three times that we had given them the right bottle:eek::eek:

Cooking dinner can be a nightmare, the amount of times Ive gone to put the water on the veg and its poured out brown:eek:

Well the whole area is being switched off over night tomorrow to be put on the new mains - hopefully that will improve matters. I will be kicking up huge stinks if the poor water qaulity continues once we start getting our water rates bill. Its a cheek to be charging for it when we have to buy bottled to drinkl

Just outside Ballymoney. Honest the water is vile. I work in a bar in the Glens and sometimes I shudder when folk ask for water with their meals - I certainly wont drink it

I have friends up in the glens and didn't notice their water being bad but that was a while ago I guess. I always thought it was fine in Belfast but went out for lunch today and they served tapwater that tasted like TCP :eek: and this was in a cafe that prides itself on filtering the water...maybe something is up...

Re the filters BTW my friend did get one of these in central london and said it works a treat but I figure we don't need it so much here since we have soft water.

Well today is the big day, change of pipes day (if all goes to plan)

I poured a jug of water for someone to have with their Whiskey- looked like milk of magnesia when poured and hadnt changed much in the five minutes stand time.

But white is possibly better then the manky muddy stuff.:rotfl:

One thing that always gets me is it always appears to turn muddy the day after muck spreading:eek:
