A group of Midlothian locals say their homes have been plagued with foul smelling water 'for years'.
A number of residents, living in council flat block in Waverley Crescent, Bonnyrigg, say they can't afford to pay privately for repairs that would improve the situation.
The local- authority-owned building does house some private residents, but they still also contain council tenants as well. The building hot water runs from large water tanks on the roof of the building.
