Yorkshire Water Smells – No complaints recorded

IN THE LATEST update from Yorkshire Water’s Hull and Saltend News webpage then NO COMPLAINTS about odours have been recorded in the week 17th October to 23rd October 2011. This means that for the whole of October only 1 complaint has been reported.

This is similar to the situation in October 2010 with 1 odour complaint, but far better than previous years with 25 complaints in the same month in 2009, and 20 each in October 2008 and October 2007.

The Hedon Blog has reproduced the latest odour report from Yorkshire Water below.
