Pettytom 1 #2 Posted December 6, 2020 You can check your water quality on the Yorkshire Water website. Just select the water quality tab and put your postcode in here. https://www.yorkshirewater.com/business/in-your-area-water-quality/ Similarly , check your water hardness here: https://www.yorkshirewater.com/water-quality/check-your-water-hardness/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thanks I started getting cloudy water that left the limestone residue in the pan. I phoned and spoke to the relevant department at YW. It was explained to me that at times "they pump water front other areas, so at certain times of the year it can change from soft water to hard".

Annie Bynnol 612 #5 Posted December 6, 2020 Kelda owns our water. Since 1963 our main source of water is the 36-mile underground pipeline linking the river Derwent at Elvington, seven miles east of York, with the reservoir at Hoober from there an increasingly complex grid covers South Yorkshire. Next biggest source of our water are the Don catchment reservoirs. Some supply is possible from underground supplies. It is possible to get water from Howden and Derwent dams (not Ladybower) but it is far more profitable to sell this water to the east Midlands cities. This is now Severn Trent territory. No water comes from the Trent itself. Water supply management requires safer, 'healthier', better quality and more consistent supply and a lot of work has gone into new treatment and storage sites eg Rivelin. Hence the 'mix'. Some of our reservoirs are for controlling river levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
