I thought it was but wasn't sure if i was imagining it, even though the sink needs cleaning much more right now. Thanks for the reassurance that i'm not seeing colours that aren't there!

Thought it was because of the recent events with my bee, ay, double ell, hyphen, see, oh, see, kay, and the cold water supply, or because I'd moved into a new place. Obviousy not.

Me too. Wonder if is the result of the recent downpours?

by **Sandra** » 26 Aug 2004, 11:28

yes our water is distinctly yellow too

I phoned East of Scotland Water and they told me the problem goes as far as Musselburgh and Leith. The water is safe and it's a result of the heavy rain flooding and at the resevoirs.

Here's the story in tonight's Evening News

I was blaming my daughter for putting too much yellow conditioner on in the shower and leaving scum round the bath!! Oops. Do I REALLY have to apologise?

You have Hibs Fans round your bath? :roll:

I was interested to check how long we had been enduring the yellow water problem. Can't believe that heavy downpours last Summer are still affecting our water supply.... :evil:

I'm 'phoning up East of Scotland Water tomorrow :arrow:

Thanks for reminding me to 'phone ecm. Just did so now :oops:

Looks like a few other folk 'phoned today too. Chap said that he had several calls today so the problem must have suddenly got worse! :wink:

Explanation is that it is still the same problem :roll:

but that they are working on it and that in about 3 weeks time or so it should be back to normal. He stressed that it was safe, just 'yellow'!

What's the betting then that we'll all be 'phoning up again in a month's time?

Thanks, Marya.

I hadn't noticed it being any worse than it has been over the last few months. It's just so off-putting, isn't it?

I wonder what it is that's going to happen/be done in the next 3 weeks to get the water clearer?
Perhaps it's better not to know.

Wish I'd known about this thread a lot sooner. I thought it was just a problem I had and I used to let my water run for ages to try and get it to run clear. I had visions of all sorts of nasties lurking in my pipes.
Just as well we don't have water metres here :oops:
