Boiled Tap Water Now Safe To Drink

Options
Good news! Severn Trent have announced this evening that boiled tap water is now safe to drink. Boiled tap water can also be used for cleaning your teeth, washing dishes, preparing food and ice-making.

Bottled water will still be available from the usual places but they are going to start withdrawing the bowsers.

(More info can be found on their website here )

    Yes but can you SMELL it! It's got more chlorine in it than a swimming pool that's just been treated. We're sticking to imported tap water (my OH works in an unaffected region of the UK).
