    pay for it...? they have to collect the household charge first in order to fund the meters to charge us for the water.

    We've had brown/yellow water on about 4 or 5 occasions over the past few months. The council said it's nothing to worry about, just to wait for it to run clear before drinking it!! It ruined a whole wash of clothes in the machine too, they all had to be thrown out. We've been buying bottled water to drink ever since.

    Quality goes from bad to worse, I really dont know what they are spending money on. I thought the big water treatment plant outside the village was supposed to cure this. I certainly wont pay water rates if this is the quality
