Yorkshire Water advice to customers following contamination
Liz Roberts
BBC Radio Sheffield
People living around Thorne near Doncaster should still boil tap water today. And that will be the case for the rest of the day while more tests are done.
The company says you may also experience greater chlorine content and discolouration, but these won't increase the risk to your health.
The contamination is affecting 3,600 households.
