Redlands Coast residents who have noticed an earthy taste or smell to their tap water have been assured by bulk water supplier Seqwater that it is safe to drink.
Seqwater advises that the water situation is being experienced across the region – including in Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan.
This rare and harmless occurrence is caused by increased natural organic compounds entering the raw water supply during warmer weather.
