There's something in the water in Timaru.

The town has had discoloured drinking water for more than a month after Timaru District Council switched to a secondary water supply.

Some residents have been using water from tankers as the council tries to reduce demand for tap water while it refills the reservoirs from its usual Pareora River source.
