Anyone else been receiving texts over the last couple of days asking you to use less water?
I still find it astonishing that in one of the wettest places on earth we have our water suppliers asking us to not have a bath or use our hose pipes as soon as we have a couple of weeks without rain.

had one yesterday, but what takes the piss 10 o'clock tonight, saying(Hello, it's Severn Trent. Thanks so much for all of your help yesterday. The sun is still shining, and we are still seeing an incredibly high demand for water. We are still asking everyone to do their bit by not using sprinklers, jet washers and hoses for the next couple of days, particularly between 4pm-9pm. It looks like rain is on the way over the weekend. Thank you so much, Severn Trent.)

As far as I understand it. The reservoirs are pretty full. The problem arises regarding the treatment to get it of quality and to us. This takes manpower and time.

To be fair it was more just tips like using a watering can for flowers instead of a hose. This is good advice generally so I’m not complaining.

We’re a small country with a population approaching 70 million and likely to expand beyond that. It’s not really surprising that our infrastructures are starting to creak.

Just got a stroppy letter from them re my outstanding bill !
Sent my meter reading in a few weeks ago. They can not be bothered to come and read it.
Immediately received my bill electronically. (Literally seconds).
Fore got about it, had no reminders and then a letter (old fashioned paper; THREATENING me with further action !!!
After 10 mins plus on the phone to speak to a human being I gave up and reluctantly paid on line.
Not impressed with our MONOPOLY water provider.

The COVID vaccine can tell how much water you are using, and if you haven’t had it they just assume you have your taps and hosepipes on 24 hours a day.

You mean like this, from Ofwat "Changing supplier Under the current legislation, household customers are not able to change their water supplier or sewerage service provider. The water or sewerage company that supplies your property will depend on where you live" ? link

The Fail and their supporters continue to do their bit as the dirty smelly bastards never wash. They truly are streets ahead of The Potters as a community friendly club.
