Today, workers from Bonds digging the new water supply on behalf of Smith's Farms for our community, accidentally broke the existing water supply pipe near Robbie's house. As each branch of the pipes around the houses don't have a stopcock, the entire network supplying both roads had to be switched off.
A plumber has been called to repair the old pipe, and is due to arrive tomorrow morning meaning that householders will be without mains water for the night.
Robbie has kindly put a hosepipe on the incoming supply in the manhole opposite the end of Wall Street that we can use in the meantime for emergencies.
UPDATE: The pipe was repaired as promised the following day, however while digging round the end of Wall Street, another break occurred. And again it was repaired on the morning of the following day resulting in residents enduring almost 2 and a half days without water.
