Yep we have one of the most rainy countries in the world but our water infrastructure is pretty dated hasn't been updated in the last 40 years

Ireland's a third world country living in the 21st century, we have the worst health service in the modern world

Consider a bath in Guinness Ged and have a sip while bathing, better then smelly armpits...

What caused the mains to stop working?

Wow! You don't hear of that happening very often! I'm sorry your having to go through this, I know it's miserable. Keep us informed.

I am still trying to get used to the concept of "water down my whiskey" ! :biglaff:

 

[gedstar]

Well we have water back today but it's at a low pressure so not enough to have a shower, but a little is better than nothing

 

[gedstar]

Water is still a trickle and looks like not been fully restored until tomorrow or the next day or the day after that so it's over to the shop for a packet of baby wipes, that's if they've any left

 

[Eggy]

Its eighter a 12 pack of the cheapest bottled water or a family pack AXE.

Seriously, nowadays? Its easier to find water in the Sahel desert...

 

[IamSam]

I only use filtered water, I never trust the water coming out of my tap to drink.

Ged, are you having to boil your water you use for consumption?

 

[Eggy]

Since the water in the pipage stood still for quite some time there's a real possibility of contamination Ged and the water won't be potable until it is flushed by fresh disinfected (read chlorinated) water!

Guys we have no water again, taps have run dry :banghead:
Sam we don't even have water to boil, I never drink tap water always bottled but the shop are running dry on supply of that to
Not been able to have a shower since Friday what a joke of a country I live in and to make matters even worse looks like it may not be sorted until Wednesday :banghead:
