They did say (in the Gold Command Briefing on Radio Glos at the weekend) that there might be problems with burst mains or air-locks developing.

They have never before had to re-pressurise such a lot of tanks and pipes from empty, so there may be set-backs.

:exclamatiDo NOT do your washing up with the water until it's pronounced as drinking quality! This advice has been constantly on the local radio and in the newspapers. Use boiled bowser water or from drinking water bottles.

I've got water

There was a horrible noise coming from the kitchen, I walked in very s l o w l y, it took me a few seconds to realise it was coming from the pipes

Going by mine... Bishops Cleeve isn't back on yet. My oh saw it on a list for Tuesday rather than Monday but couldn't remember where.

Hope it is back tomorrow morning... or sooner

My washing machine is ready and waiting to be used if any of you need it

I use cheapy washing powder and fabric softener which you can use, if you don't like it then bring your own posh stuff lol. PM me.

The water they're pumping is as clean as ever, they're just worried in case some flood water has contaminated the pipes along the way.

:rotfl:

i just heard that is wasnt quite safe to drink yet as it might be contaminated coz we're nt using tap water for washing the plates and stuff
