THOUSANDS of homes across Bradford are experiencing problems with their water supplies.

Thanks to work on the pipe network sediment has been stirred up - turning the water a murky brown colour.

The good news is that there's nothing to be concerned about.

It might not look too appetising, but usually running a tap for a few minutes will clear it.

Yorkshire Water says: "Your water might be discoloured as we have been doing some work in your area.

"It is nothing to worry about, just follow our advice on our website to help get it cleared.

 "If you experience short term discoloured water and you need water for drinking or cooking, please follow the advice: 

"Run the first incoming cold water tap for several minutes (this will usually be your kitchen tap).

"Fill a jug and leave it to stand until any sediment has settled to the bottom."
