No Water for hours
July 19th, 2006 by GregHere in the UK yesturday was the hottest day of the year by far and the hottest day in July for years, until today that is when it is even hotter and guess what, our water utility company had some major problem and 3 towns (cities to those in the US) had no water for at least 9 hours over night. Can you imagine how people felt this morning to wake up hot and sticky to find they can’t wash, toilets couldn’t be flushed from about 11pm (if not before) last night until 8am this morning?
As you can read on the BBC Website the water company is blaming excess usage in gardens in the hot weather. If that is the case then lets have a hose pipe ban just like other areas of the country, or even better why not fix all those leaks that exist.
