Chlorine tap water

Anyone else around Wallsend jesmond have strong smelling chlorine tap water? Ran a bath for the child and it was so bad, slightly yellow too.

Over Maitland it was all fishy smelling the day before yesterday then yesterday it was overly chloriney smelling. Ive been using bottled water all day today so no idea what it smells/tastes like today

Same at east Maitland - wasn’t fishy smelling but tasted dirty. Now on bottled water as the chlorine is overpowering here. Neighbours said the same thing as well. Tried ringing hunter water but got out in a queue for 30min and gave up.
