Bwash_Ram Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Is it just me or has the quality of the tap water in these parts declined? For the last couple of weeks ive noticed a slight smell and taste to the water (kind of sewagey) Its only very slight and is probably safe but annoying all the same.

ossieram Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 No problems with colour or taste in Mackworth, but the pressure is low, bloody Keogh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Lot of work going off at the Res at Ambergate, could be sediment being disturbed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the one near Little Eaton/Breadsall would supply Derby rather than Ambergate which is better located to serve places like Ripley & Belper and surrounding area.

Leicester Ram Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Weird you mention it, I've noticed that recently. Whenever I've come home from uni (Birmingham), I've notice how bad the tap water is at home than in Brum. It's tastes really chemical heavy, is cloudy and seems to be a bit stale. Not sure if it's our house because we live on a new estate, might have something to do with it but I've definitely noticed it recently. But, weirdly, the tap water in Birmingham is genuinely really good quality. Comes from the Welsh valleys and we don't really have the heating on in my house so it's always cold. Maybe it's my parents actually paying the heating bill that's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just had a quick read up @Boycie and the reservoir is a lot bigger than just serving a small area. It supplies the East Midlands I suppose it depends if it has been commissioned yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes from ladybower area, piped down in a big bog off pipe and fills the underground res’s on the way. Ambergate being up stream of drum hill. Derbyshire feeds watter to Nottingham and Leicester. We need to find where it leaves the county and pee in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a facinating read, a big piece of engineering that was laid years ago, they recon if the aqueduct did spring a leak it would send a jet of water 100’s of feet into the air. it’s got great head apparently.

Just a guess, but you may want to try near the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kevin Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 My understanding is chlorine levels are increased in the water supply when the terrorist threat is high ,might be true as the water quality and the taste has fluctuated quite a lot recently.
