in Water bills
Yorkshire water just knocked on my door to say they are turning the water off for a while.

Should I turn my combi boiler off while the water is off or should it be ok?

Thanks

    if you are going to run any taps for a length of time then may be worth turning it off, unless you run them for any length of time there should be enough water in pipes to the house to cope with small amounts

    Why? Are you going to be running a bath while the water is off. As long as you are not running any hot water I would say it is fine.

    As the cold water does not go through the combi.

    Make sure you fill your kettle up and maybe a jug so you can make a hot drink while its turned off.
