Linslade water update Sunday PM We are really sorry customers in Leighton Linslade are still without water. Work is progressing to resolve the issues caused by an air lock in our network which is stopping water from reaching customers’ homes. Engineers are currently undertaking work to install an overland pipe to bypass the airlocked water main, although this will take a while to complete. In the meantime, by using an army of tankers and bringing water in from different parts of our network where we can, many people are starting to see their supplies return. However, there are a smaller number homes still without water. We have extended the deadline for this repair until midday tomorrow to allow those customers who remain off water chance to make provisions for the rest of the day. Rest assured, our engineers will continue working into the evening and overnight to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We know it’s been incredibly frustrating for our customers that timescales have changed. Our estimates are always given with the best of intentions for returning things to normal, but on this occasion, it has proved an unusually complex issue to resolve, with challenges that could not be predicted emerging along the way. Bottled water will continue to be available for affected customers from: Tesco, Vimy Rd, LU71ER Brooklands Social Club, Garden Leys, LU7 3PQ We are hand delivering bottled water to vulnerable customers on our WaterCare register who need special assistance. If you are concerned that you, or a friend or relative is not on our WaterCare register and cannot get to a bottled water collection point, please call on 0800 145 145 so we arrange a bottled water delivery. We are genuinely sorry for the disruption this has caused, rest assured we are doing everything we can to resolve this.
