  1. Depends on the water, but this can be true. I grew up with a natural well that had a smell and a colour, but it was tested and genuinely fine. It just depends. Always worth checking though!

  2. >NI Water are working to reduce the impact of these compounds as they move through the water supply system and work closely on a daily basis with the Drinking Water Inspectorate and the Public Health Agency to ensure the water is safe to drink.

    >I can confirm that NI Water has confirmed to me that the water is safe to drink.

    How dare a minister repeat the advice he was given by experts. /s

    If he drinks a pint of it ,I will believe it then ,,can we get some one from a lab or collage to test it and just see ,,, the dogs won’t drink it and I trust them over a politician any day

  4. It doesn’t matter if the taste and smell of water are pleasant or unpleasant. By definition, water is tasteless and odourless, so if you’re tasting something, you might want to check if you’re drinking actual water.

  5. As someone who currently lives in Poland, in a place with constant e coli outbreaks in the water – don’t.

    The nation replies that ‘it shouldn’t be foul smelling and tasting to begin with you absolute plank’.

    The debate continues…
