🔔 Attention Rhondda Cynon Taf! 🔔
For the fourth day in a row, residents are being advised not to drink tap water as temperatures skyrocket. 🌡️ Welsh Water has indicated an issue with the chemical process at Maerdy treatment works, advising everyone to boil tap water before use for drinking, brushing teeth, or cooking. This comes as we’re experiencing what could be the hottest day of the year so far!
Four handy bottled water stations are now open for residents:
📍 Tonyrefail Leisure Centre
📍 Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Llyn y Forwyn, Ferndale
📍 Rhondda Sports Centre, Pentre
📍 Sardis Rd Car Park, Pontypridd
🚗 Expect queues as people pick up their free supplies, especially with the warmer forecast putting a demand on water usage.
The affected areas include Blaenllechau, Ferndale, Pontypridd, and surrounding communities. Welsh Water is working tirelessly to resolve the situation and has assured us it’s a precautionary measure, not an excess of chemicals in the supply. It’s taking time to refresh and test the water due to the size of the network.
While the issue was fixed on Friday night, the boil notice stays in effect until the water quality is confirmed safe. 🤞 Meanwhile, stay safe, hydrated, and patient!
💧 Keep informed with local updates and know we’re in this together! Hang tight, and thank you for your understanding and patience! 💪❤️
