    I'm surprised you weren't onto the media, at least about the lack of reaction by the politicians and authorities about this. Usually a few words on the Radio makes a big difference.

    Well I had sent a mail and outlined in it if there was no action taken then my next step was to contac the media.....amazingly things then started to happen


    Update:
    Council departments: Environment, Water Services and Health have all now taken samples and each have launched investigatons with results due this week (well Im hoping they are).

    We are currently connected to the local water scheme (although its temporary) and we wait on what comes next from the investigation.

    After that, Im not too sure then

    Glad to hear that things are moving in the right direction.

    How is the water supply in relation to pressure etc.

    Hi Muffler

    Pressure is perfect!! Once the tank filled, everything was perfect. So at least the pressure of not having proper water has been sorted (for now) as you don't realise how much you use water until you don't have access to it.
    Just waiting for the reports from investigations to come back from the co co (they said this week - but you never know!!!)

    Will keep updated

    What are you doing for drinking water? Is the council water adequate?

    Consider getting a filter fitted int he kitchen.

    Im still using bottled water for drinking water and the baby's bottles. Although for Tea and Coffee we are using the water from the council (sure as its fine boiled) We are waiting on the test results from the council to check if its okay to drink, but that said - we will continue to boil bottled water for the baby's bottle and feed just to make sure. At least showers are an option now!!
