Title: No water!
Post by: sgk on July 31, 2005, 04:50:56 PM

There's some sort of supply problem on Windlehurst Lane, causing most of Marple to be without water today.

United Utilities are aware and are investigating.  They've setup water tanks on a few places in the area (eg corner of Constable Drive and Hollins Lane), so if you've a few buckets you can get some water there.

Co-op quickly sold out of all their bottled water as a result of the problems.

Anyone heard when it's due back on ?

Wonder if we'll get a rebate on our water bills?

Steve.

Apparently a big water main has broken. United Utilities have a message on their phone system saying that they hope to have it back on later tonight.

I rang 0845 746 2222 this morning and was told they are having problems repairing the damaged water pipe.She couldn't give me a day or time when the water would be back on.
I asked about compensation and was told you automatically get it.

Rang 'em myself, at 13:30.  Water is now on in some Marple areas.  Should be flowing freely throughout the place within the next 2 hours.
