Residents in Mid-Ulster up in arms over 'mouldy' tap water!

CONCERNS have been raised over the quality of drinking water in parts of Mid-Ulster after a number of residents have said their tap water has a "rank" and "mouldy" taste.

Residents in various parts of Mid-Ulster, including Ballinderry and Cookstown, have all noticed the ''mouldy'' taste.

Despite the complaints, NI Water insists that the smell and taste of the water was a result of naturally occurring compounds related to algae in Lough Neagh and that it was not harmful to health.
