a few of the boys have just checked out two tanks in armidale that supply water to local consumers and have found with the aid of a camera three foot of mud in one tank and four tank of mud in another
why are they not cleaning out the contamination or at least adding filters to keep the mess out of our childrens diet
the council seems to be making heaps on water and local home owners deserve better than what they are paying for the tax on lands they never own and look out if the water bill is not paid on time

Contact the authorities you are paying for the water so you deserve the best available to you.

I agree. It's discusting, especially because we simply trust that our water in clean. The murray darling basin that runs from Queensland to SA also becomes quite contaminated and when the water reaches Adelaide the salinity levels are through the roof..

I am currently in a battle with the Water Authority over contaminated Water Supply. I live in a Metropolitan suburb about 8 km from the City and for the last few months have been getting Sulpher Dioxide smelling water (Bad egg smell) atvarious times. I contacted the Water Authority who stated that the mains probably need flushing. The mains were flushed and lo and behold five days later out comes the stink again.Sulphor dioxide ingested in high quantities can be very dangerous. I am just about to commence round 2.

and let the law deal with it as the water board

I think you need to contact the EPA, or Water Authorities in your area, good luck.

i agree tried the local council who is in charge of the water and other things they are not concerned
it is just a joke to them as long as the money is paid that they believe they are owed
