Along with about 13,000 other households I've been cut off from running water for a couple of days. I've had a few advantages in this situation. I have a friend with running water who let me cook and server a roast meal at his house. I'm quite prepared to lower my standards of personal hygiene. I had enough mineral water in stock that thirst wasn't a problem. The difficult bit was washing dishes and flushing the toilet. South West Water gave me several 2l bottles of water. I would heat one of these in the kettle, mix it with another in the washing up bowl and then do a very meagre batch of washing up. The washing up water was saved in a bucket and used to tip down the toilet.
The water came back on this morning and I was glad to have a shave and a shower.
