"We can give the assurance that we won’t stop until all properties are back on supply.
"We are a 24/7 business, and that work will continue day and night until water
supplies return to normal.
"We would like to thank local Councils, agencies and elected representatives who have been working alongside us to distribute bottled water and assist with access to our sites.”
