Re: Water or rather lack of it

Hades Do your neighbours have water? All of the works to repair the water main have been removed and we have full supply restored (we are supplied from the same Sesmarias water tower) - have you altered any taps etc in a bid to get the water back and not turned them back on? Just a thought! Apparen...

Re: Water or rather lack of it

Cheers. Nightmare - still no water! We were going to go into town tonight but think we'll give it a miss - unless the showers come back on! :o

Re: Water or rather lack of it

We are in Quinta Das Pias, Sesmarias - we're here on holiday so I may not have the area right??

None of our water is running nor toilets flushing. Its started working okay yesterday afternoon and we were able to get showers, but not today.

Re: Water or rather lack of it

Looks like they must be doing someting again because we have no water this morning (08:00 hours). I did see the fire engine by the water tower last night and wondered what it was doing there.

I was joking about the pool btw :) - but thanks for the advice.

Re: Water or rather lack of it

Update No sooner had I posted this but noticed the pool filling up! Looks like we're back in action.

Toilets are still taking a while to fill up but the pool seems to be getting some speed!! Hosepipe and shower outside working now too.

Re: Water or rather lack of it

I'm not sure if I am right or not, but going down to the Intermarche this morning I noticed a huge pipe on the side of the road with an incredible crack in it. (If the water tower is to your right (and the pizza place) and you go down the hill, straight over the roundabout and its there on your righ...

No Water in Carvoeiro?

Hi - we have had no water for the past day and a half now and wondered if any of you knowledgable people out there knew when it would likely to be restored?

Will they be working today (Sunday) to restore this or are we in for another 'dry' day?

Thanks in advance.
