Once again the water is off in parts of the Birkenhead/Prenton area.

I went to get a shower and the water is dead low then my shower head snapped! went to get a bath and took me about half an hour to fill and now we have no water at all.

Also family members in the area have no water too, it seems to happen about twice a year in my area!!

With your bath taking half an hour to fill was it cold by the time you went to get in it resulting in mission failure?

There's probably a broken pipe somewhere due to the cold weather.
