Drought?!

[Mikey]

I didn't think you could have a water summit, I always thought it found its own level.

We've now got a blizzard and the water but I rigged up on my new greenhouse was three quarters filled in one night...................

[Farmer_Gyles]

we just had an april shower .... lasted all of 2 minutes .... it's the first rain we've had here since march 4th ....

[maytreefrannie]

I love to use fresh water each time I make tea - I don't reboil water but try to only boil what I need each time. Any left over is kept for watering plants.

Has anyone noticed the number of people these days who have* two or three showers a day? Also, people who wash clothes after wearing them for just a couple of hours or three.

Save water - shower less often.

*Or say they have

the instant they impose a hose pipe ban, we've had almost non-stop rain .... 5 water butts, 3 watering cans, 9 buckets and the wheelbarrow are all full .... and forecast is for rain through till at least sunday ....

i'm going to offer to sell water back to the water company ....

[Two_Sheds]

why not? i'm not jokin... you can sell electricity if you make some with solar panel or wind turbine.. why not water? specially if you have a water meter... let's write a letter to the water company ( but not me otherwise will be full of grammar error lol)

Whenever I hear of water shortages I think of Mad Max...............

We are an Island surrrounded by the bladdy stuff, maybe desalination is the way ahead?

[Potstubsdustbins]

We have had constant heavy rain for the last 24 hours and it is forecast to continue for the next 5 days. Maybe thats why Severn Trent have offered to sell Anglian Water some.

my water rates in middlesex was £17 per month that was it, for 3 bed semi 2 adults one child, back in sarf east kent i pay over £30 per month for both waters in a 2 bed flat, 2 adult 2 kids, thing is i know for deffinate i used a lot more water in middlesex than i do down here,

its like with the energy bill its the service charges that increase not so much the taffifs

We are quite water aware to, blimin last year because tennants downstairs were not paying for water avoiding the bills for some reason i ended up paying for theirs as well, im always checking my meter usage

water companies dont like my mum she uses well below aveage for one person, when she rang for ideas to save more they said she doesnt use enough, she gets discount as all the downpipes have a water butts now, her bill is about £7 per month

[binley100]

i would just like to point out that since the talk of drought we've had nowt but rain

[Farmer_Gyles]

my water rates in middlesex was £17 per month

mine are £42 a month for a 3 bed semi for me, the missus and my son

my mum ... gets discount as all the downpipes have a water butts now, her bill is about £7 per month

can we all get discounts for having water butts on the downpipes? or is that just something done by some water companies or just for some people?!?!

[lottie dolly]
