UK : East : "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink"

HUNDREDS of homes in Felixstowe woke up today with little or no water following a power failure.

A spokesman for Anglian Water said the power failure caused part of the pumping system to fail.

As a result the water supply in hundreds of homes was affected between 6.30am and 7.15am today.

i know its not the point... but why did you have 3 small bottles of evian? does everyone have an emergency stash of bottled water for moments like this? :laugh_at:

Bigger houses usually have a cold water storage tank with a capacity of several hundred litres.. but maybe this is no longer a requirement in some areas? (it used to be a Water Board byelaw)

it is rare to find a hot shower in Malaysia, although this is not a problem when Winter temeratures are 20-25 Celsius....

I didn't hear anything about this and i don't know anyone that was affected by this either.

Good plan Process.......... Maybe we can add a shower to your van, simply plug in a 6 pack and away we go??:you_crazy

[DIONYSUS]

could get one of those solar out door showers... or just get a bucket and some water..

Rotate it i'll stand on the roof & poor loads of really expesive small bottles of evian over you, maybe even some perrier water if we have somewhere important to go...........


What a plan:crazy_diz

Solar shower is probably a good idea though!!!
