They've said it looks like there's too much chlorine in the water in that area.

And will the water company be fined? No.
Hope nobody suffers any ill health as a result of the contamination.

I was just saying this Kizzy to my hubby^^^^ what are people supposed to do?

But it shows how reliant we all are on our water supplier, it's a fact that makes me uncomfortable:/

Disgusting isn't it? Happened last year where my daughter lived in Lancaster, they bought bottled but what about those who can't?.
What's happening, is it lack of regulation? If it was still nationalised there would be outcry but a private company making vast profits gets away with poisoning the water system :/

The water Company should Deliver to their Door
The Council should tell the feckers


On The TV News
the Water Company refused to say how long it will take?

What about those who may not have heard about it? Someone needs to be held accountable if too much chlorine has been added to the supply. It's frightening! Am i right in thinking when there was contamination in Lancashire it went on for days?

We've been considering a reverse osmosis water system being attached to our kitchen sink.
