I finally got to speak to representative from United Utilities and she told me the bottled water had run out at the two sites near Great Harwood and there are no other places in the area where water was being supplied in bottles. I got the usual apology and told that they were working hard to restore the water and if I bought bottled water and sent the receipt to United Utilities they would refund the money.

I am managing to flush the toilet with water from my outside water butt and quenching my thirst with my stock of Stella, I wonder if they will pay for that. The dirty plates are piling up in the sink and I am not looking forward to washing up when the supply is restored.
