WATER SUPPLY UPDATE 07/05 19:45

 

Despite our best efforts to restore the supply to our reservoir today, it has just failed upon testing a few minutes ago. I’m so sorry to report that this means supply will not be restored this evening.

 

Whilst our team work on a separate solution, we have placed an order for 8 tankers of water to replenish the reservoir tomorrow morning. Although this will only provide a small amount of water, it will help some of our customers.

 

In addition, we have placed an order for a further 8 pallets of bottled water to be delivered to the same 4 sites as today.

 

I appreciate our apologies won’t help the situation but I can assure you that the team here are working hard to restore supply.

 

We will keep you all as updated as we can throughout tomorrow.

 Providing a regular, adequate and wholesome water supply

Throughout the many changes in the water industry, Cholderton & District Water Company has remained an independent, privately owned enterprise. For 30 years, we were the smallest of the statutory water undertakings providing a public water supply. In May 2018 - following representations to Ofwat (the industry’s economic regulator) - Cholderton & District Water Company became a private water supply. At the same time, the Cholderton Estate Trust acquired a majority and controlling shareholding in the company.

                                              Water Network

Cholderton & District Water Company today has two boreholes, five active 
service reservoirs and a distribution network that encompasses some 
45 kilometres of water supply pipe. The system is maintained by our own staff.
