Anglian Water is warning some people in Lincolnshire to boil their water after low water quality has been recorded.
A boil notice has been issued for the area following a sample on Friday.
Affected areas are:
- Castle Bytham
- Little Bytham
- Toft
- Witham on the Hill
- Carlby
- Corby Glen
- Grimsthorpe & surrounding area
A spokesperson for Anglian Water said: “As soon as we identify from our routine testing that something may not be quite our usual standard, we invoke a precautionary process of asking customers to boil their water as a precautionary measure, while we carry out a detailed series of further testing.
"The purpose of this is to isolate the precise area, make individual checks on all of our water assets in that area and take samples from them to investigate source and potential cause of abnormal result.
“We are working on this issue around the clock but the testing process does take time, as each sample needs to be analysed by our laboratories.
"Our full focus is on taking responsible action to understand and fix the issue as quickly as we can.
“We will customers know as soon as everything is back to normal.”
