People in three apartment buildings in Dwarka, Delhi, have been getting dirty water for two weeks.
The water looks murky and some residents are experiencing health problems, like diarrhea and skin issues.
The city is investigating, but some officials say the water is clear now, while others say it's still contaminated.
The residents have had to buy their water, while waiting for the issue to be fixed.
The situation has led to health concerns and the need for medication.
Residents of Vyas Kunj, Royal Green, and Akshardham Apartments are receiving contaminated water.
