    Is that because you are supplied by Thames, not affected by the Mythe works

    We're pretty central and have had no mains water since Sunday evening.
    Have just been outside getting soaked in the pouring rain rigging up a tarp survival-style to collect the rainwater and funnel it into buckets and bowls.
    Got quite a bit! :D
    Washing and hair-washing (and then loo-flushing, of course :p) is now ok for the next couple of days without having to use bowser or drinking water.

  • We are in Longlevens and now in to our 4th day without water - kind of got used to it now but collecting water from a bowser when it's raining is still a very strange experience.

    We (family of 5) have just got back from a friends in Brockworth where we all had a shower & got 2 loads of laundry done. They think their water comes from Andoversford. I'm not sure how accurate that is.

    At home in Leckhampton we 've not had water since Sunday night. But we did catch loads of rainwater on Thursday. We also had our phones knocked out by a tanker delivering water which knocked a bollard over and took the phone cable with it.
