A Perthshire primary school has been left without drinkable water for three weeks.
Concerns regarding the quality of the water at Invergowrie Primary School were raised to Perth and Kinross Council on August 20.
The school has been using bottled water ever since.
One parent described the situation as “shocking” and told The Courier: “We were told to bring a bottle of water from home for a couple of days until it was fixed.
“I thought all children were supposed to be able to have drinking water at all times.
“I think this is shocking.”
