Question: Yellowish water has been supplied to my house recently. Is it safe for drinking?

Answer: Yellowish water may appear sometimes in the early morning or after a certain hours for not using the water. This is a corrosion symptom of the water connected materials. It may happen at the bib tap, faucet or communication pipe. However, it is safe for drinking although it is not pleasing aesthetically and is a nuisance for laundry purpose. It can be easily be removed with a few layers of jeans cloth fitted to the tap, or running the tap for several minutes.
