YorksWater Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The blend of water that our customers are being supplied with in some areas of Sheffield has changed. The proportion of soft moorland water has decreased and has been replaced with river derived water which tends to be harder. The water blend might vary at different times of the day and from day to day. As a result you may notice that your kettle develops a slight build up of scale. This is due to increased levels of naturally occurring calcium bicarbonate. You may also notice a difference in taste although this is not harmful in any way. This blending of water is a routine procedure which takes place for operational reasons in order to balance water stocks in the region. More information on water hardness is available in the water quality section of our website - http://www.yorkshirewater.com/waterquality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink22 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I hope our bills will be reduced as it's not good enough. Why can't you just use soft water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagel Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hard water is better for you. They should put your bill up. The only health benefit I know is that women are less likely to get osteoporosis in hard water areas as their intake of calcium is higher. In all other respects hard water is a pain as it makes disgusting tea, rice doesn't cook properly and everything scales up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hard water is better for you. Hard water is ice; nice for penguins and polar bears, at least. And Fox's Glacier mints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
