Supplies of bottled water at the single depot in Belfast ran out within a short period.

Are NI Water set to turn off the water supply for a while ? I most certaainly hope that they don't...!!!

Its being given out to the homes inBelfast who have been left without water because of burst mains etc

*max*

Mine was reduced to a trickle this afternoon, and has now completely gone (BT5)
I hope it's back by tomorrow! Or that the shops will have had deliveries of bottled water at least.

Mine has been fine (so far !) and I am BT5. Have had a couple of neighbours call round regarding it and I have had to givee them water supplies...

Great BigAndy! I'll be knocking on your door later mate! lol

A friend told me he tried to get bottled water today, but all the shops he went to had run out. How's that for organisation?
I find it incredible that big shops like Tesco and Asda can't get their heads round organising extra deliveries to supply the inevitable demand under these circumstances! :cool:

If they had I would ask them for next weeks lottery numbers too lol

But if they need any Ballygowan water I can sort that
remember the Peckham Springs water ?

Seriously this is a real problem at the moment and I hope it gets sorted soon.

I am in Rosetta and classed as BT6 but our water is still on. Now yesterday I got a call from a friend who told me to fill the bath with water incase it did go off. I went round my neighbours who are pensioners and those with children and told them to to do it.
Some neighbours are away for the holiday period anyway.

Because we are near the Ormeau Road I am not sure if we are grouped with BT7 even though my postcode is BT6. BT7 and BT8 are not on the list.

They are saying leisure centres giving out water, er there are none in south Belfast!!!!! Also round here so many pensioners and me don't have transport to get to one to get water if we had too.
