Re: Water Main Burst

United Utilities are laughingly saying that only a few hundred houses are affected. I think they're either hopeful or telling porkies, just because they've only had 150 complaints.

I know for a fact that the area is a really big area that is affected because I know people all around Ossy and Acc who are affected. Just because we haven't all bothered complaining doesn't mean we're not sat here with no water - we just know they're on the case and there's no point in telling them.

My office off Blackburn Road closed at lunchtime for health and safety reasons (couldn't flush toilets or wash hands etc) so I'm working from home, no problem here but my daughter's is off up Dill Hall Lane.

Re: Water Main Burst

Ok...cheers Bernie...I spoke to my mum this morning (8.30) when I read the news and she said the taps were running fine, so the pressure must have dropped off. Any idea on when there will be full restoration?

I would assume this would now be a big repair job on the ring main. The supplier is United Utilities, if I recall rightly. Has there been any announcements on Radio Lancs, or anyone coming round with a broadcasting van?

The LT is not updating on the latest news.

No water at all now.

Feel sorry for those who weren't warned, and drew some off before it stopped.

If I recall correctly, you have a stream not many feet from your front door. Why don't you go and have your weekly bath in that?

Re: Water Main Burst

they said on radio lancs this morning they were putting the warning out every 20 mins or so ... and that united utilities were using the water tankers to try and keep up the water going through the taps ..
