We may have been working on your water mains network, perhaps fixing a burst main, and stirred up some iron sediments. If this is the reason, it’s normally short-lived and shouldn’t last more than 24 hours. Although these iron sediments aren’t harmful, we appreciate the water might not look very pleasant.

If you have concerns about the colour of your water, visit our page about the common causes for changes in the appearance of your water and what to do.

Also, watch our video about keeping your taps clean.
