Agamemnon1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Can anyone actually tell me which water company was responsible for the turning off of the water in the early hours of the morning in the Fearnhead area recently ?

Paul Kennedy Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 North West Water - United Utilities. PS Peter, has he got any. PPS For his sake I hope so, isn't he standing in a by-election shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Geoff Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Ag Paul is right it was UU - they had to deal with an emergency burst and had no option. _ It's impact was wider than just Fearnhead and they did do a lot of the work during the night. It was broadcast on the TV and Radio - but there was no chance of a card drop. The water pressure is low today so tey must be doing some additional work. There will be a number to ring on your water bill or check the telephone directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Tell that to those in Woolston. I've just been to the garage and everyones buying bottled water because it's all gone off completly again this morning (Sunday) In Paddington, we're still down to a trickle but at least able to fill some pans up.

Paul Kennedy Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thought water companies were obliged to bring in water bowsers or hand out bottled water. Seems disgraceful that people should have to buy water from shops given that they are already paying for it by way of their water bills. Come on UU, if things are as bad as Bill is indicating, get your finger out and start looking after your hard pressed customers.....customers who can't choose their supplier!

Student Geoff Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 You can ring 0800 330 033 for an update and ask whether or not a bowser is being despatched - currently though there are major problems in St Helens and high call volumes so it's not just the Woolston are that is having problems.

tizz21 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 The pressure is still really low in woolston. No water upstairs in our house and a trickle downstairs, shower won't work because the pressure is to low. The recorded message from UU says it could be like this for another couple of days. It is because of a burst at Bewsey which is close to a gas mains and is making the repair dificult. I wonder if we will get any sort of refund on water bills? I think the answer will be ......NO.

Beanbag Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm in Oakwood and I haven't had any water all day. I thought it had been fixed yesterday too. It's amazing how inconvenient having no water is - it makes you thankful that you have running water (assuming it comes back!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Geoff Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Mrs G has just got back from Birchwood - ASDA have run out of bottled water, I've just filled up some pans to be on the safe side whilst we still have some pressure - I'm than going to stand in the bath and ask her to pour water over me through the calendar so that I can have a shower.
