Yes. Birmingham water is pretty disgusting. I was glad to go back to
Reading. I basically only drink water and beer, normally.
Thinking about it it might not be peat in Brums water but rust from the
cast iron pipes that bring from the Elan Valley.

I have worked inside the Elan Valley Aquaduct and the walls are thick
with peat. There are not many steel/iron pipes in the aquaduct. They
are mainly cut & cover brick lined up to shoulder height and concrete
tops. Steel Pipes where it crosses river valleys etc.
The water when it arrives at Frankley is black with peat. Amazing how
clean they get it.
