Residents in a northern Chinese city have been horrified to see bright pink water streaming out of their taps.
Families in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province, documented the unusual occurrence by taking videos of the bright-coloured liquid filling up their sinks this week.
Local authorities said they were investigating the matter after the footage was widely shared on Chinese social media.

The incident drew attention online after clips of the pink tap water emerged today.
It was found at a local middle school’s residential building where the teachers and their families live.
Footage filmed by the residents shows the liquid with the fluorescent shade pouring out of their kitchen and bathroom taps.
A spokesperson from the school confirmed the incident, adding that the tap water on the campus remained normal.
‘It happened a day or two days ago,’ the staff member told Chinese video news outlet Pear. ‘We don’t really know [what caused it].’

The local authorities claimed they had been investigating the matter to determine the cause of the pink tap water.
‘The investigation results have not come out yet’, an official from the Shuozhou City Administration told reporters. ‘We will have it in the next few days.’
A similar incident had occurred to the residents of a Canadian town in 2017.
The town of Onoway, Alberta, with nearly 1,000 people, were baffled to see ‘very, very pink’ liquid gushing out from their sinks.
But officials insisted the pink water, a side-effect of a common water-treatment chemical, was safe to drink.
Last month, residents in another Chinese city found their tap water, despite being crystal clear, could be set on fire.
Shocking footage shows the spurting liquid turning into a blaze after a villager lit it with a lighter in Panjin city, Liaoning Province.
The Panjin authorities claimed that the incident was a result of natural gas leaking into the groundwater, which was supplied to the local village.
