THIS is my diary of a water leak which happened recently:
Saturday 7am - Sound of lots of water in road. I look out of the window. Water is gushing out from hole in the pavement. I call Thames Water to report a water leak in Days Lane and the operator says it has already been reported.
Saturday 1pm - Water still gushing out of ground.
Saturday 7pm - Two men turn up in a van, dig up road and then leave - the water is still leaking.
Sunday 1pm - More men arrive in a van, investigate leak and turn off the water. My husband speaks to the men. The water leak is not where they were told it would be and they can't find it.
Sunday 3pm - A large lorry turns up and the hole is filled in. All the workmen leave. The water is back on. The water still leaking.
Hosepipe ban? Why?
