Re: Water Main Burst
I went to Tesco approx 20 mins ago and there was no free water left, just a few small bottles on the shelf, but for sale. The Tesco man said he'd been told the Water Board had SORTED the problem and it should be back within 2 hrs, so ... we will see

Re: Water Main Burst
Anyone who has actually bought water...if you save your receipts and send them to UU, you will be reimbursed....this is according to their website.

I noticed Fairfield Childrens Centre was closed as I drove past. Will UU be compensating any parents who had to take a day of work unpaid I wonder. I suspect the parents will still be charged even though it was closed today.

Re: Water Main Burst
Just now some water has come back on, but not enough pressure to get upstairs to the loo.
Probably too many folk have left there taps open, & the pressures down because of that.

I now have 12 one and a half litre bottles of water to drink.

I can't help thinking they were being optimistic. Ours was OK until a little while ago and then fizzled down to a trickle. Yet the neighbours seem to be running a tap with no problems. Maybe that is affecting ours.

If it was brown and slimy it wasn't mud, it was a communication from UU Customer Services
