IMPROVEMENT work to water supplies costing nearly £2m is being carried out in five moorland villages.
The aim is to improve the quality and taste of the water, said a spokesman for Yorkshire Water yesterday.
Householders in Lealholm, Egton, Westerdale, Botton Hall and Ugthorpe, in the Esk Valley, near Whitby, North Yorkshire, have been warned that the work could result in discolouration of supplies.
The work will disturb water in the main and may bring sediment into tap water, said the spokesman.
People are advised to run their water for several minutes and to fill a jug with water, allowing the sediment to settle before use.
