I’m in the UK at the moment and our water was cut off for 12 hours last week for ‘routine maintenance’. But after Brexit and with Bojo in charge it could be argued that the UK is no longer a developed country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in the UK for 40 years and not once where I lived was the water cut off for "routine maintenance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it stands to reason that ageing pipelines will require maintenance at some point, although I’m sure they try to avoid cutting off supplies whenever possible.

KKr Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 A real innovative approach would be to have two main pipes feeding an area of town, pressured by different pumping stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
