Due to the actions taken to repair a fault in network area Gran Alacant, caused by fault of the service, it has had to suspend the supply of drinking water. It is expected that the court also affects the afternoon. We are working to restore service as quickly as possible.

Post by: Davison on February 19, 2016, 16:25.: I am in Luxemburgo water company has just been working on a neighbours water box he did something and a load of water came gushing out down the street. I must admit my pressure has been ok but when I ran a glass of cold water it came out milky looking then slowly went clear, Im worried about drinking it, does anyone know if it is safe said loosely to drink.
Thanks

Post by: DaveG on February 19, 2016, 20:44.: Yes it will be safe to drink. The milky look is due to air trapped in the pipes and compressed when the empty pipes are recharged after the repair. To be absolutely sure run a glass of cold water and leave it for half hour or so whilst the air disolves out, it will clear to normal.

Post by: gaveteran on February 22, 2016, 11:27.: No one has heard from Davison for two days, so it doesn't look good! I am personally only drinking beer and avoiding water altogether to be safe.
