Hundreds of homes were left without water after a major water pipe burst.
The pipe on Bullbridge Hill in Ambergate, Derbyshire, burst shortly after 06:00 BST.
We woke up early to no water supply this morning. As you can see from the photo there was a bit of a leak in one of the Severn-Trent water mains.
An fine performance by STW though. Even though we hadn't contacted them, they were soon sending out automated information bulletins via text and phone. After a few hours the leak had been isolated and water supplies diverted from elsewhere.
We were also told by text and phone how to get rid of any discolouration in the water. Pretty impressive we thought, considering the circumstances.
That picture could be of a Derbyshire beauty spot. Enjoy it while the crowds are away.
ReplyDeletePretty impressive it could become a landmark tourist attraction.
ReplyDeleteOooops!

Sam - the trouble is beauty spots seem to attract the police. Maybe they want to be well away from towns and cities.
ReplyDeleteWiggia - getting to it via the uphill route would be a problem though.
Scrobs - he was good wasn't he?
