Severn Trent Warning
Supply interruptions
2 Jun 2020 21:41
💧There’s a risk of water supply disruptions this evening and into tomorrow morning.
We’d like to apologise to customers in and around the Gloucestershire area who’ve had a couple of nights of low pressure or no supply. We know just how frustrating that must be for everyone, and we’re doing everything we can to keep your water flowing but it’s being caused by the huge spike in demand we’re seeing at the moment, with hundreds of millions of litres more treated water being used than last week.
We’re working flat out to get more treated water into supply (and there are no issues with the raw water we store in our reservoirs) but, despite hitting record levels of production yesterday, customers are pretty much using the water as soon as we can make it.
That means we’re looking at using tankers to bring water directly into your area to help keep your taps on but it’d also be great if everyone could also do their bit by using a bit less water, so we’re asking everyone to ditch the sprinkler and to ditch the pressure washer, at least for the next week.
Thank you for your understanding.
From SDC…
