Owing to a burst at Knockerdown, water supplies to Parwich have been temporarily cut off.
Severn Trent Water tell us that they are working on the problem as a matter of priority, and that they hope to resume normal services “within the next couple of hours”.
(We called them at 16:15, so that would make for an estimate of 18:15.)
The 24 hour emergency contact number for Severn Trent Water is 0800 783 4444.
Update – 17:30: The water supply appears to have returned, but still at a low pressure.
Update – 18:00: Everything seems normal again.


Yes everything back to normal, nice white soapy textured fizzy water. Nothing out of the ordinary there then..
Don’t knock it! People pay good money for fizzy water in Sainsburys!
Yes, but dissolved atmosphere does not work as well as carbon dioxide. Even so I would not pay for anybody’s bottled water – it is no better in this country, only posher, and a rip off. Turn on the tap and help reduce your debts.
Maybe we’ve done the poor water company wrong. They could be piping champagne to us!
