Water Main Burst
Its been on the North West News this morning that there's been a major mains burst affecting Accrington and Blackburn, at first it said 10,000 homes could be affected, but the last I heard it had been reevaluated to a few hundred. Everything seems to be okay where I am, but I've filled a pan with a bit extra to make sure

Thanks for the warning.
Have run some water, just in case. BBC News - Burst water main disrupts supply in Blackburn |
Re: Water Main Burst
The water pressure is very low, but managed to fill a couple of bottles.
Thanks for the warning Jaysay, have passed it on to a few people. Back to bathing in asses's milk for me. http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/w...tian/tut05.gif |

Re: Water Main Burst
To be honest I heard it about 7am if I hadn't been still half asleep I should have put the warning on here earlier, must keep it in mind next time anything like that happens

Thats a load of bull, we get our water from Dean Clough in Gt Harwood & from Mitchels, we used to be lucky in that if either supply was affected, we got water from the other, now since they've installed new by pass valves, round our are two years ago, we get nowt. Retlaw |
Re: Water Main Burst
Just checked with Fire Station & watter buard did'nt even inform them that there was a burst, thats criminal. From what they now know the burts is somewhere near Martholme Grane, even a burst there, should'nt affect the West of Accrington or Blackburn.
