Still no water, although the fire brigade have run a hosepipe to the island to help things fill up faster now the second leak has been fixed... it caused utter chaos as they closed the dual carriageway bridge. That meant ten thousand or so people coming home via this...
Not my photo, but it took an hour to drive from a certain school in Sittingbourne to the bridge. An hour to drive 4 miles, and that was before the queues really kicked in!
I filled up six 2-litre bottles at work yesterday, so at least I could flush the toilet this morning!
The school has reminded staff from the island (a good quarter or so come from there) that they can use school showers if needs be.
All I can say is thank goodness this all happened when it was "only" in the high 20s. If this happened next Monday/Tuesday instead there would have been all hell to pay.
EDIT: And the water's now back on. My goodness, I've never been so relieved to hear a toilet cistern filling!
