Here's Thameswater's map of affected areas. The area to th the left has been restored but the rest looks like a long haul as they are setting up bottle stations.

Yes. The drama for us ended Thursday night. Others may be less fortunate. Thameswater formally removed the crisis from their incident register today.

Did anyone get a letter from Elie Reeves about this? We hadn't contacted her, but received a generic letter with a stamped signature, expressing concern about the leak, inadequate provision of bottled water etc.

Strangely there was nothing in the letter about the most concerning leak - the leak of bill-payers money into the US based private equity firm that owns Thames Water and has lent itself £3 billion at 9.75%. You know who's going to be paying that interest don't you, yes that's right, you are.

Nothing from Ellie about this week's TW court case and the fact that the Govt had no representative in court. There was a sole Lib Dem MP attempting to represent the public interest.
