There will be an interruption to the water supply to Parwich this week for mains cleaning (Severn Trent ref DMA 14-122). The notice I received (on the Green) stated the following times:
- Tuesday 10th August: from 9pm to 6am
- Wednesday 11th August: from 9pm to 6am
- Thursday 12th August: from 9pm to 6am
Do let us know (via parwich@hotmail.co.uk or in a comment below) if you have different days or times, and how large an area is involved. Last time there was an interruption to the supply not everyone got a letter. If your water is cut off beyond the notified times or you are not give 48 hours notification of scheduled work you may be entitled to compensation. Severn Trent can be contacted on tel. 0800 783 4444, for more information.
While the water supply is disrupted Severn Trent say not to try to use any mains water, including flushing toilets and hot water. So you will need to set up emergency supplies. One option for flushing toilets is to fill the bath in advance with cold water and then use buckets to flush the toilet. Do you have any other useful tips?
PS Be careful not to leave any taps turned on during the interruptions. Last time at least two households were flooded as a result of this with the water coming back on in the middle of the night at higher pressure.
