Update Regarding Water Taste and Smell
In response to recent inquiries about an earthy taste or smell in the water supply, we would like to reassure customers that our water remains fully compliant with all drinking water standards.
The earthy taste is caused by a harmless, naturally occurring compound found in healthy soils and aquatic environments. It is the same compound that gives vegetables like spinach and beetroot their characteristic earthy flavor. Recent warm weather has made this more noticeable in our water.
If you are sensitive to the taste, chilling your tap water in the fridge before drinking helps significantly reduce both the taste and smell.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Signed Management. July 14th, 2026

Our Management Structure
The Callow Lake Group Water Scheme’s management structure consists of several board members from each of the original three schemes. Presently there are 15 executive board members on the Board of Management. This is a voluntary committee and they freely give their time to attend approximately 12 monthly meetings each year. The Board of Management have been very progressive and proactive and have made many considered and important decisions on policy and future development. They take great pride in their scheme and want the scheme to be one of the best by ensuring that all the members benefit from a continuous supply of quality assured water and good customer service.
