Coffee. Tea. Ink. That is how Napier residents are describing the water which came out of their taps at the weekend.
One resident Chris Baylis , said the water was bad enough she would not let her granddaughter bath in it.
"We used bottled water to clean our teeth."
She
wanted council to take responsibility and communicate with residents about the problem.
"I think the council should be advising us what is going on, whether it's safe and what they are doing about it."
