The water was cut off this morning without warning, I have bought several bottles of water from the local supermarket, but there were lots of people there doing the same thing. I have a water butt in the garden which will provide some water for washing and cleaning.
I hope that one day it will be possible to install water de-salination plants around the coast to make use of the sea water
This problem with your supply was nothing to do with "drought"- probably caused by a mains burst.
Desalination won't appear in this country. Not an option in UK for any decent amounts.
Just a thought, maybe if everyone in Englandshire didn't keep a butt of water in their back garden there might be enough to fill the reservoirs........just sayin'
