Yellow tap water safe: waterworks

The floods have affected tap-water production to an extent, Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MEA) assistant governor Vikrom Suwanchomphu said yesterday.
He said tap water piped to people living along the Mahasawas Canal was now yellow in colour, but did not contain any germs or toxins.
“But you may boil the water before drinking it if you wish,” Vikrom said.
He added that his agency was urgently fixing the problem.
