W&SD alerts customers in Belle Vue & EE areas of ‘discoloured’ tap water
Customers, in a Government Information Services (GIS) bulletin on November 3, 2023, have been advised that sediments are undesirable “not because they pose health concerns” but because they can degrade the quality of water by affecting its taste, clarity and colour.
Run off discoloured water- W&SD
The Department is requesting that consumers open all faucets, garden hoses, and other appliances that provide the home or establishment with potable water and run them until clear water is visible.
It said if running the water does not clear the problem within ten (10) minutes, residents are encouraged to notify the Water and Sewerage Department, and a work crew will be dispatched to provide further assistance.
W&SD also said for conservation purposes, the water may be saved for watering plants with no harmful effects.

undesirable sediments in the water supply system. Did W&SD conduct laboratory testing of the water and if the testing show contaminants in the water system /segments of the water system, which are outside of the safe, normal limits and that it issue a public notice notifying customers to refrain from using the water for drinking, bathing , cooking, etc until the W&SD give the all clear for usage.
There should not normally be any sediments in a potable water system and if so testing should be conducted and corrective action taken and customers notified as needed. Well trained, certified , and licensed technicians are needed to ensure the system is not contaminated by lack of knowledge, improper techniques, carelessness, etc,. The water system can be easily contaminated from poor work practices., ie, the need for well-trained, certified, and license technicians, along with qualified supervision of the work.
Does the W@SD have a water lab and if no why not?? Does W&SD staffed with engineers to staff the technical positions in this vital and critical utility system and if No, why not? What is the W&SD plan of action, if any, to get water, if needed, to the affected areas?
Hmm. That's what we getting for our millions $$$ monthly. These people are criminals. Then again. We are fools. We kept voting for them.. So, so sad..
