    Dont know about your area but there has been rumours around togher that the waters going to be turned off cause a pile of pipes have burst up at the water tower on the hill.
    Dont know how true it is but you never know.

    I'm not far from Friars Walk & my water looks fine, nothing on the council website about water being turned off.

    My cold water seems to be gone in Greenmount. Its a bare drip and its very brown. Is this going to last long does anyone know? Should I be running out and buying water?

    I heard today that they have lowered the water pressure to conserve water.. Don't know if it's true..

    Also heard they are turning off the electricity tonight for an hour or something tonight. Anyone know anything of this rumour?

    If there was a planned electricity outage it would be during the day.

    Feast or a famine, no water today and floods tomorrow. They are working on it though. Alot of pipes should be renewed from this.
