Cant understand how Rough Lee Rd has no water, but two streets away has?? How bizarre, oh & Retlaw forget to tell ya, I was charging £10.00 per bottle of water, so thats £30.00 you owe me !!!

I believe you're trying to groom me.

Looking on the bright side pubs are now selling beer at full strength.:hidewall::hehetable

Well my water has been okay all day, hasn't even lost power, the message was being put out on Northern TV news from 7am, or even earlier

Re: Water Main Burst
 

If anyone needs any and can get to me (Peel Park area) we have water, will happily fill bottles/containers up. PM me for address.
Just been informed by sister in law in Church that Asda and Lidl have sold out of all water except tiny "sportcap" style bottles.

Still off here.

Thanks to Jaysay's warning should have enough for my much needed morning coffee.

If not, will have to do a Sarah Miles.

Since I'm already feeling decidedly grubby.

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.

I managed to get some from Haslingden Tesco, they still had 5l bottles left.:D

Drought, the sun beating down on baked earth.

We'll probably have Michael Buerk and Kate Adie turn up tomorrow with film crews.

That's fine, as long as Bob Geldof and Bono don't record a charity single.

:rolleyes:

Bog off you thats usery you little villan.
As for some streets being off & others on, looks like some over zealous engineers have been shutting valves off that didn't need touching, Accrinton from the West of Manchester Rd, from Nuttall St to Bash gets its water from Mitchells, via Rising Bridge, so somebodies cocked up.
Retlaw.

Ma lives up Riley's Hill and they have had no water since this morning.........I think the dribble that came out of the tap when we were there was probably just what was in the pipes.
She has a well with spring water in her cellar, but I wouldn't like to drink it.......I suppose it would be alright for washing your feet in...as long as you don't mind sharing with the frogs.

Re: Water Main Burst
 

No hot water in me house!!!!!!!
