ON Monday I received a text from Dwr Cymru about discolouration to our water supply with instructions as to how to deal with it.

In March 2004 The Broomy Hill Treatment Works were opened after completion of a” £15 million complete refurbishment”. It was then reported by the Hereford Times to be Welsh Water’s largest water treatment centre in England.

ALSO READ:

“The improvements should meet the level of demands in the Hereford area for the next 20 years and minimise the amount of water taken from the river Wye,” the report said.

What are your thoughts?

You can send a letter to the editor to have your say by clicking here.

Letters should not exceed 250 words and local issues take precedence.

Here we are then, 20 years on, with well-publicised recurrent concerns about the quality of the water in the river Wye and a recent warning about not swimming at The Warren, near Hay-on-Wye due to “a high level of bacteria found during routine monitoring” by Natural Resources Wales (online: Welsh Water ‘not behind bacteria at the Warren on river Wye’, July 20).

How concerned should we be about our drinking water?
