Water Leak?

It would have been good customer service for Thames Water to have let people know their water was being cut off during the repairs!

How were the bowsers to be used? Does one just turn up with a bucket to be filled?

Thanks Sarah, hope it gets repaired quickly. 
Bowser just drove off, after another hour (?) idling the engine.

Apparently, there is a bust water main, which they are trying to mend now.

We have no cold water at present. We live next to the church.

There is certainly a leak outside the church, which TW were looking at yesterday so I expect that is what they have come to repair

He also has a colleague on Enstone Road with a clean water tanker, and there’s a van down by the church where the road looks a bit ‘leaky’ - the Enstone Road driver also hadn’t been told where the work was taking place (and was ever so nice). Having just walked a nearly full lap of Charlbury I didn’t see any actual digging,

We have a Thames Water bowser parked in Wychwood Paddocks - engine running for best part of an hour until I asked the driver to shut it down.

The driver said he's to supply water when the supply is shut off to repair a leak, however he did not know where this leak happens to be. Apparently.

Anyone any the wiser? I've tried contacting TW via Twitter 'contact us 24/7' but I don't have much faith in getting a reply '...it could take two working days to get back..'!!
