freds dad Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Cos its not rained for a week it seems that United Utilities are going inti to panic mode firstly by taking water from the lake district and then a hosepipe ban. Where did all the rain and snow that we had in the winter go? Im off to stock pile water by filling buckets and the bath http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/10394098.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny G Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 They should fix all the leaks, more water escapes than gets used ( maybe a bit of an exageration) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow means bugger all. 6 inches of snow is equal to 1 inch of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved Aye, but our water comes from the lakes, so it;s a bit of a drive.

HazzyinBolton Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 If these rumours are true, I'm off to stock up on powdered water first thing in the morning - just like they had to during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Softee Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Reservoirs can only hold so much water so i guess it went over the overspill and off down the river out to sea. The problem is that United Utilities have spent bugger all on reservoir maintenance and clearing out the silt, hence less capacity. United utilities have 2 budgets, a "Q" budget which stands for quality works. They get recompensed from OFWAT if they spend money on this. The second budget is an "X" budget, which stands for maintenance works. They are expected to pay for this themselves. Guess which one they spend more on seeing as they are a private company that makes ?600 million profit. They should be put back under public control.

H Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Funny thing the British weather. The two reservoirs nearest to me are Blagdon and Chew Valley and that there map shows them as normal and notably low yet they're only 5 miles apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
