Anglian Water - bug in water supplyI'm sure you've heard on the news about the bug found in Anglian Water's supply...........well, I live right in the heart of the affected area and it's a nightmare!!  They're saying that it's going to go on for weeks and we can't use the tap water - apart from for showering/bathing. All water for cooking, drinking, cleaning teeth and washing dishes has to be boiled and cooled first.  I went to buy some bottled water from the supermarket last night and the shelves were pretty much bare and they were rationing the amount of water you could buy  It's madness - people are panic buying water!! Schools have been closed too. Even the cats have now got Evian in their water bowls.........posh kitties!!!  Here's a link to the BBC News page if anyone's interested... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/n...re/7474774.stm

Sorry to hear you're in the affected area Charlie and I can imagine the panic going on there. It makes you realise how much we take turning on a tap for granted  It must be hard to get children to realise they mustn't use the tap water too..I hope they can sort out the contamination problem very soon and you can all get back to normal. |

What a nightmare for you! That happened recently here in adjacent Montgomery county; due to a massive pipe break the water supply was contaminated (sewage!), so all tap water had to be boiled; lasted about a week before the all-clear. Bottled water vanished from store shelves everywhere...complete and utter panic! Dare I quote the cliche: You never miss the water till the well runs dry..... Seriously, sympathy, Charlie; hope it will get cleared soon...(((hugs))) |

Yes, I heard it yesterday just as I was coming to the junction of the A43 and the M1 . . . and I thought of you! It's a darned nuisance but it's also good that they check the water regularly and picked it up. Otherwise there would have been a run on immodium instead of mineral water |

It's horrible Charlie! I've read the news link you posted. Actually, I heard something about it on Chris Evans' show yesterday. Some lady called in that had been shopping for bottled water in another town where she worked because the shops in Northants had sold out. I do think you should get a photo of your cats drinking Evian - free bottled water for life?! |

Charlie, I hope you are ok for water supplies. It's like the fuel crisis isn't it and we rely so much on these basic things, it's scary when they are in short supply Good luck. Keep safe. |
