They have ways and means of diverting other pipes into the area. They only have enough water for half the town at the moment because of the burst pipe.

Then, to avoid any payments (it has to be off for 48 hours before you can start claiming) they have changed the water diversions so that the other houses now have it. Thereby meaning that no one is able to claim.
Just me thinking aloud.

I don't think you are far wrong on that one.
Their excuse, of course, is that they are trying to ration the water, rather than allow all to get some some of the time rather than some all of the time and others to get nowt.
