To date I have been reluctant to make a big deal out of the state of our town water.We do get some discoloration and some grit in the lines every year with the spring run off.
But this morning all bets are off. After about 3 weeks or soIt is getting worse, despite councils work in flushing the lines, and despite the fact that the main spring run off is down to a trickle.
This is what the toilet looked like this morning before and after flushing. The grit and residue accumulated overnight.
And this is what the water out of the kitchen tap looked like this morning.
I am now upset because this is not a natural spring run off situation, it is a man made situation.
Town engineers and the contractor doing the work on the new waterline and road have some explaining to do and perhaps compensation talks should ensure.
Who knows what this is doing to our bodies, both inside and out, not to mention to heating system pipes and pumps.

Crikey, that's murky water.
I hope you're boiling any water you're going to cook with, or drink!
I can just imagine what the inside of hot water tanks must be like
Is bottled water being provided??? 3 weeks worth and no end in sight is a bit on the disaster side isn't it...maybe I'm being over dramatic but seriously...
No bottled water provided, the elderly sure could use some assistance. Most people are getting water from brooks, but that can be iffy also this time of year, lot better than out of the tap though.
